Betz Family Winery Pere de Famille Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Deep ruby with a vibrant, youthful edge. Bright currant, blueberry, sweet berry fruit with exotic spice, smoke, camphor notes. Rich berry fruit with a sense of elegance. International Wine Cellar Bright, deep ruby-red. Musky, minerally, spicy aromas of blackberry, blueberry, leather and tree bark. Quite penetrating on the palate, with terrific intensity and cut to the black cherry and currant flavors. Denser and larger-scaled than the Clos de Betz. This, too, finishes with excellent cut, growing sweeter and longer as it opens in the glass. There's firm tannic spine here but no impression of dryness Score: 93. —Stephen Tanzer, July 2006.Wine Spectator Smooth and round, with a pleasant mineral note adding interest to the beautifully integrated oak and plangent currant and blackberry fruit. Finishes supple and harmonious. Drink now through 2014. Score: 92. —Harvey Steiman, June 15, 2007. |
