• 94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

  Unpacking layers of complexity, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Père de Famille offers a gorgeous nose filled with aromas of oak spices, dark cherry and juicy plum as it exudes power and finesse. Full-bodied, this is a delightful wine that continues to gain in complexity as it sits on the palate. Impressive, pleasurable and energetic, the wine somersaults to an elongated finish that brings me back for more. This is a stunning wine that will continue to age with grace and precision.

  Firm and juicy, with spicy blueberry and currant flavors playing against a prickly texture. The bright flavors linger effectively and persistently. Best from 2017 through 2023.
• 91 Wine Enthusiast
  Aromas of dried herb, bay leaf, spice, dried flowers and dark fruit are followed by tart, spritely cranberry and cherry flavors. It possesses a real sense of freshness and elegance.
• 90 Wine & Spirits
  Betz’s tête de cuvée is firm and composed, with aromas of cedar and redwood, flavors of plum and black cherry, and a hint of saddle leather. It feels classical in its lean, dry elegance and the tight weave of its tannins. It will benefit from some cellar time.
