Another beauty that has a classic feel, the 2001 Syrah Bionic Frog doesn’t skimp on ripeness and has lots of truffle, chocolate, licorice and assorted mature Syrah-like aromas and flavors. Still full-bodied and concentrated, with sweet tannin, it has another 15 years of longevity.

Fresh herbs, dark berries and hints of leather can be detected in the aromatic profile of the 2001 Syrah Bionic Frog. Rich, lush, suave, and velvety-textured, it slathers the palate with jammy red as well as black fruits, notes reminiscent of horse sweat, and spices. This medium to full-bodied wine should be drunk over the next 6-7 years.Tel. (509) 301-6972 www.cayusevineyards.com
