2020 Mother of Exiles MAGNUM

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Petit Verdot, 8% Tannat, 1% Cabernet Franc

Powerful aromas of black currant, violet, fresh bay leaf, and humidor explode from the glass on the 2020 Mother of Exiles. Layers of wild blueberry, game, cinnamon, and dark chocolate give way to profound tannins on the persistently hedonistic finish.
