title: Cayuse 2011 Bionic Frog Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (OR))
description: Long-time admirers of this wine may find the 2011 version a bit thin. It's a more subtle wine than is customary, the expressive funk subsumed below lighter layers of peat moss, sea salt and white chocolate. With decanting, scents of shittake mushroom, duck sauce and even chicken broth swirl up from the glass, with black tea flavors running through the tannins. Quite good, yet somewhat muted.
variety: Syrah
designation: Bionic Frog
