The 2018s from this estate are brilliant across the board and shine for their purity
with red and black fruit and some crystallized preserve notes
Most of the vineyards are on the northern side of Vosne bordering Vougeot
imposing and virtually impenetrable
Best from 2018 through 2032
Cayuse, Walla Walla Valley, Bionic Frog Syrah 2013 Red The 2018s from this estate97 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.
