Displaying a deep ruby color at the core and firm red ruby rim, the nose opens to the mineral tension expected of Red Mountain with a dark red-fruited essence, black cherry, dark plum and dusty raspberry with an elegant oak richness and dusty red flower petals. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is rich and mineral on the palate, showing a spicy cinnamon tone that builds with a firm tannic grip. As the wine sits on the palate, it unpacks more of its complexities, showing precision and finesse. A brilliant wine, it ends with a long, lingering finish that will show beautifully for more than a decade. Absolutely delicious. \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is a wine for the ages. Aromas of thyme, the blackest of cherries, licorice, bay leaf and spice are followed by outright delicious, plump fruit flavors. There's a whole lot of primary fruit, with ample structure to hang it all on, along with plenty of depth and intensity. The finish is near endless. It flat-out impresses, with remarkable intensity.

Medium to full-bodied, reasonably well concentrated, yet elegant and beautifully balanced, it opens up nicely with time in the glass and will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 20 years.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck (May 2021), 95 pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Betz Family Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949140963375,"sku":"W0EE323036BLL","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/betzfambtlper_9dc5a0b2-4fd4-4791-9042-a414319ab6a4.jpg?v=1771489899","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/betz-family-pere-de-famille-cabernet-sauvignon-2018","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
