Betz Family Winery Clos de Betz

The Clos de Betz is the Bordeaux-inspired heart cuvée of the Betz Family Winery – a red wine that combines the power of the Columbia Valley with classic structure.

Bob Betz MW founded the winery in 1997 in Washington State after spending decades as cellar master at Chateau Ste. Michelle. The Columbia Valley provides the raw materials: intense sunlight, cool nights, and volcanic soils that bring depth and tension to the wines. The Clos de Betz is a cuvée of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc – vinified according to the Burgundian model, aged in French barriques.

In the glass, it shows dark cherry, plum, and black raspberry, underlaid by red spice potpourri and a subtle hint of smoke. The mouthfeel is medium-weight with a silky texture; the firm, well-integrated tannins give the wine support without hardness. The finish is long, with lingering dark fruit and a slightly spicy note.
