2021 Denner Vineyards Mother of Exiles Paso Robles, USA

(95 Points) The 2021 Mother of Exiles is a powerful blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Tannat. Its aromas are finely detailed, with blackcurrant and blueberry fruit complemented by tones of tobacco leaves, tar, graphite and violet. The full-bodied palate features concentrated, violet-laced fruit supported by grainy tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity, and it has a very long, flavorful finish. Wine Advocate
