The 2021 Kivi is a blend of 56% Syrah and 44% Mourve­dre with scents of red and black cur­rants, leather, savory herbs and laven­der with touch­es of cocoa and cof­fee beans. The medi­um-bod­ied palate has a deep core of com­plex, savory fla­vors yet is light on its feet with abun­dant, pow­dery tan­nins and vibrant fresh­ness, and it has a long, lay­ered fin­ish. 94 pts
