Cayuse, Walla Walla Valley, Bionic Frog Syrah 2013 Normandy ' (RP) (10/2016)97 points Wine Advocate The only wine to see partial aging in foudre (20% new), the 2013 Syrah Bionic Frog has an almost Burgundian flair in its forest floor, olive brine, smoked earth, dried flower and darker fruit styled personality. One of the more streamlined, elegant examples of this cuvee, it still has a serious, lengthy feel, full bodied richness and building underlying structure that makes me think 3 5 years of cellaring are warranted.
