This is the wine that first attracted me to Denner, 14.4% abv, dark red, lots of fruit with smooth tannins and good acid, good sipping, full body, drank with NJ NY strip steak, pomme frites and haricot verts, will drink again with another vintage, a Bordeaux blend that does not resemble a Bordeaux, great with food or on the porch.

Blind Tasting of Syrah vs Cab: I opened it as the last wine of the night and ran it through a vinturi into a decanter.
Good nose - plummy. Smooth finish with good tannins.
The winemaker is Anthony Yount for both Denner and Sixmilebridge. It was striking the difference between Mother of Exiles and the Sixmilebridge cab.
I really enjoyed this wine while I did not care for the Sixmilebridge.

Cabernet dominate, but tempered by the Merlot. Voluptuous wine from start to finish.

I wasn't crazy about this. Seemed a bit lackluster and not much depth. Maybe wait a couple of years and hope it changes?

Blue and blackberry on the nose, pepper and spice in the finish, savory structure in between.
