The 2015 Clos de Betz is a blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. Offering up aromas of blackcurrants, crème de cassis, licorice, incense and rich soil tones, it's full-bodied, layered and velvety, with super concentration and depth, fine-grained structuring tannins and a long, youthfully chewy finish. The structural refinement and detail are indicative of Betz's thoughtful approach to the challenges of the 2015 vintage. - William Kelley

An abundance of toasty oak spices and meaty, barrel-derived complexity, as well as aromas of ripe mulberries and red to dark plums. The palate has layers of swanky modern complexity and nicely cut fleshy fruits. A full and silky finish. Very good wine. A blend of 75% merlot, 15% cabernet sauvignon and 10% petit verdot. Drink or hold.
