Betz Family Winery Clos De Betz 2004

|
BN#234437 |
The 2004 vintage is a more “serious” wine than previous vintages, with a structure and length that will reward aging. Its weight and density develop in the glass, adding layers of berry fruit and supple, sweet tannin The same vineyard and cellar practices we use with the Cabernet Sauvignon went into making the Clos de Betz. Grapes varieties and the vineyard sources account for the difference in character and flavor between the two wines.
Wine Spectator
Ripe and supple, this is distinctive for the decadent floral note that weaves through the dark berry, cherry and tarry spice flavors. An aristocratic wine, with the stuff to age in the cellar. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Best from 2010 through 2016. 750 cases made.
Score: 91.
