Needs an hour decant at this stage for certain, but afterwards was very approachable. Very fruit forward red and blue fruit with soft tannins and a mild mocha finish. I think the Kenefick has more potential at the moment, but we’ll see how they evolve.

Napa Valley - November 2022; 11/16/2022-11/19/2022 (Napa Valley): Nose of blackberry crumble. Big dark fruit up front that recedes to coffee and spie. Dusty tannins with moderate acidity. A nice syrah for sure.

First taste of Vivio Syrah. Concentrated blueberry and red cherry, some oaky vanillin. A bit fruit forward now as would be expected.
