2022 Denner Vineyards Mother of Exiles Paso Robles

“Dark and deep aromas of blackberry, mahogany and tobacco are serious yet approachable on the nose of this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Petit Verdot, 5% Tempranillo, 3% Tannat, 3% Cabernet Franc. 1% Graciano and 1% Merlot. The palate is bold and extracted, offering stewed, jammy fruit flavors alongside bittersweet chocolate elements.” – Matt Kettmann Review Date: May 2025
