October 15, 2023 - Nose of nicely integrated oak and fruit. I like it
Palate smooth, integrated, moved on to secondary flavors of sweet tobacco, leather, silky smooth and long finish.
Enjoyed. -

September 14, 2023 - Penultimate bottle from a 4 pack, last had this wine about 3 yrs ago.
Lovely Washington State Cabernet, regal and full on the palate, with black over red fruits, showing very pretty earthy flavors and scents, including moist soil, espresso grounds, and pencil shavings. Rock solid core, the acidity buffers the flavors nicely, leading into a harmonious and complete finish. Nice wine, drink through 2027+, but pretty irresistible right now.2 people found this helpful Comment -

June 6, 2023 - Decanted 3 hours before dinner.
Closed at first, opening slowly. A lean wine with fine tannins and dry fruits and a nice finish.1 person found this helpful Comment -

2/26/2013 (link) ***** points(Betz Family Winery Pere de Famille Red Wine Columbia Valley) The Petit Verdot really pops on this wine right now with freshly tilled soil and violets along with mineral, chocolate, herbal notes, pencil shavings, and a medley of red and black fruit on this aromatically complex wine. There is incredible delineation between the varieties here. The palate is arresting with fresh, layered fruit flavors with a mouthfeel with volume, weight and intensity. A wow wine. Nothing short of an accomplishment and as fine as I have had from the winery to date. 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot. 73% Red Mountain (Ciel du Cheval, Kiona, Klipsun), 21% Horse Heaven Hills (Alder Ridge), and 6% Yakima Valley (Red Willow). Aged in French oak (65% new). 14.1% alcohol.
