Description
2015 Pere de Famille Cabernet Sauvignon shows its lineage clearly, while also expressing the conditions of the vintage. It’s a deep magenta through to the core. A knockout aroma of black currant and black cherry comes next, enhanced by bay leaf and thyme. Black olive notes share the stage with baking spices. Aromas of white flowers and red currants tease their way out with time in the glass. The palate impression is one of early integration between the oak and grape tannins. The inclusion of Merlot and Petit Verdot help create a seamless texture, and extend the length of flavor on the palate. Expect 2015 Pere de Famille to be delicious young, but to offer up to two decades of cellar life.
Pere de Famille is Betz’ Cabernet Sauvignon based wine from the Columbia Valley of Washington; but to stop the story here would say little of what it took for the winery to get to this far. Since 1997, the quest to produce the quintessential Washington Cabernet Sauvignon has sent them searching the state’s vineyard land, looking for parcels capable of contributing to their goal. To sum it up, nearly two decades of vineyard trials.
