Betz Family Winery
Père de Famille Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
The 2015 'Pere de Famille' is a Cabernet based wine with a touch of Petit Verdot blended in. It was aged for 19 months in new French oak prior to bottling and the resultant wine starts out with a lovely combination of red and dark fruits along with green bell pepper nuances on the nose. The plush texture entices, as the wine unveils flavors of red cherries, wild blackberry cobbler, lavender and a kiss of milk chocolate. Balanced, with wonderful weight, this wine will likely begin to show its best after some short-term cellaring. Drink 2019-2033- 94

Boysenberry and blackberries dominate the pallet. Big nose is a plus for this young cab. While time will be its friend, it was a pleasure to drink
