2011 Cayuse Bionic Frog Syrah – 96-Point Walla Walla Valley Biodynamic Red Wine

Walla Walla's Cult Classic with Swagger

Walla Walla Valley, Washington 🇺🇸 | 100% Syrah | 96 pts Wine Advocate | Savory. Wild. Totally Iconic.

You know it by name — now taste why it’s legendary. The Bionic Frog 2011 is Cayuse’s cult Syrah, packed with smoked meat swagger, wild earth intensity, and that signature bacon-fat elegance only Christophe Baron could pull off. From biodynamic vines rooted deep in cobblestone soils, this is Syrah turned art form.

Vintage 2011? Cooler year, longer hang time, pure concentration. Think cassis, violets, black pepper, and BBQ smoke all hanging out in one bottle — balanced, brooding, and totally unforgettable.

🍷 What It Tastes Like:

• Color: Deep garnet with a hint of brick at the rim — aged but alive.

• Nose: Toasted oak, roasted meat, bacon fat, blackberry, violets, and a pinch of peppered funk.

• Palate: Bold and rich — crème de cassis, smoked earth, dark berries, and savory spice. Smooth tannins, intense focus.

• Finish: Long, layered, and savory — like a slow-burning soundtrack of Washington soil and French precision.

🍽 Pair It With:

• Grilled & Smoked: Lamb chops, charred sausages, or sticky ribs — this Syrah wants smoke.

• Cheese That Knows It’s Bold: Aged Gouda, smoked cheddar, stanky blues — bring the funk.

• Mushroom Magic: Truffled risotto, roasted portobellos, or wild mushroom anything.
