2019 Betz Family Winery 'The Untold Story' Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley

Winemaker Notes: The 2019 Untold Story shows intensity the moment it hits the glass with a deeply colored purple core that’s almost opaque. The color speaks to the power of the aromatics: rich black fruits, dark blackberry, plum and cassis swirl about, picking up graphite and crushed herbs with air. The layered palate is hedonistically plush, but still balanced thanks to fresh acidity and a fine tannic backbone. The lengthy finish carries a delightful mix of fresh herbs, crushed berries and spice. In a word, this wine is yummy.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Vinous - "The 2019 The Untold Story wafts up from the glass with a dusty mix of dried flowers, hints of sandalwood and pine that give way to dusty dried cherries and plum. This boasts sensually silky textures with a mix of ripe red and blue fruits offset by nuances of sour citrus and sage. It finishes with framing tannins that add a pleasantly dry sensation, while nuances of blackberry and exotic spice slowly taper off."
