Betz Family 2005 Père de Famille Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Père de Famille
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Washington
Winery: Betz Family / Columbia Valley (WA)

The fragrance is almost otherworldly; sweet, dense and lightly lifted. This is a sinewy wine, that begins with compact power and focused, tart red fruits—predominantly raspberry and currant. At first juicy and tart, with hours of breathing time the wine broadens out into a wider spectrum of Cabernet fruits; cassis, blackberry and black cherry.
