Product Overview

"The Bordelaise bottlings excelled in this vintage for Denner, including this Cab-led blend, which also features 12% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Tannat. Intense aromas of blackberry, cocoa and dark flowers are impressively concentrated, as is the palate, where cassis and elderberry flavors meet with mint and pepper spices. Built to impress." -MK, 10/1/24

"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." -EB, 12/29/23

"The 2021 Mother Of Exiles is darkly floral with a bouquet of incense, pipe tobacco, sage and rum-soaked cherries. Youthfully dense and backward, it washes across the palate with an intense wave of tart red and black fruits, taking on a chewy sensation toward the close as a hint of bitter dark chocolate mounts. It finishes spicy and dramatically long, leaving a spicy sensation and firming tannins as a floral resonance lingers on." -EG, Jun/2024
