98+ Another blockbuster vintage, the 2005 Syrah Bionic Frog is one of the more masculine and structured in the lineup. Chocolate, crushed rocks, wood smoke, iodine and spiced meats all give way to a full-bodied, deeply concentrated, rich and structured Syrah that needs another 2-3 years to fully flesh out. While its masculine, meaty character dominated at first, it showed more and more layers with time in the glass. It should be at its best from 2017-2030. - Jeb Dunnuck

Lithe focused and generous with its blackberry cherry and exotic spice flavors picking up a stony minerality as the finish turns silky and refined. Each sip turns the wine in a slightly different direction suggesting this will develop remarkable complexity as it ages. Best from 2010 through 2017. 386 cases made. -HS

Interesting wine... Served blind I liked the palate feel and texture. There is a nice lush quality to the fruit. It's plush, soft and easy to like, with ample levels of ripeness and everything was in balance. But the finish was marred by the touch of bitterness and lack of length. A nice wine, but for me not worth the price or equal to all the accolades heaped on the wine.
