Travieso 2014 Syrah
2014 Travieso “Amaranta” Syrah Kirk Williams Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 93+ Points
Rich, ripe, fruity, spicy, nicely matured and altogether attractive, this flavorful Syrah represents its cool climate appellation beautifully. The nose is a gently plush medley of boysenberry, black raspberry, dry dark rose, black peppercorn, bouillon, dried herbs, toffee and dark tobacco, with a suggestion of soy sauce in the background. It is slightly plump and extremel supple on the palate where all the promised flavors, along with a hint of Cherry Bounce liqueur, find a graceful, generous and lingering harmony. It deserves service with richly flavored roasts or stews. 90 cases made.
