For years we've believed that Washington's Columbia Valley produces some of this country's finest grapes. Our "research" over the past 30 years in nearly every vineyard region in the US and Europe keeps us coming back to the natural character of Washington wines. They're a blend of the best elements of the new and old worlds: full, ripe fruit, yet textured for food and structured for longevity.
Our goal at Betz Family Winery is to craft compelling wines with individual character that reflect the vineyards the grapes come from and our dedication to them.
Since the late 1960s we've enjoyed countless hours studying how vintners grow their grapes and craft their wines. A year in the vineyards of Italy, France and Germany followed by numerous adventures throughout the US and other European vineyards have provided a perspective that we hope to bring to our winemaking.

For a quick recap of what the critics said about our wines in 2007, click here.
For some fun reading see the March 31, 2008 issue of the Wine Spectator, where they named our 2005 Syrah La Côte Rousse one of their Highly Recommended wines: "94 points. Ripe and focused. A plush mouthful of raspberry, black cherry and rhubarb pie flavors play nicely against refined tannins and hints of roasted red pepper and pomegranate on the long, expressive finish. An intense Syrah that seems to float in midair. Best from 2010 through 2015."
Summer is coming and two of the Northwest's great wine events are on tap, The Festival of Washington Wines and the Auction of Washington Wines. See our "News and Acclaim" page for more information.
