Tasting Note

The 2017 Clos de Betz displays a brilliant magenta rim leading to a dark, ruby core. The aromatic fireworks scream Merlot: black cherry, pomegranate, licorice, and cocoa powder almost leap from the glass, with savory leather, tobacco, sage, and black pepper emerging with air. The palate shows Clos de Betz’s characteristic weight and density in spades, expressing freshness with almost distilled richness and concentration. Flavors of black and red raspberry, dark chocolate, anise, and orange peel lead into a long, intense, and mouthwatering finish. Perhaps the richest, most extroverted Clos de Betz of the last decade, 2017 still shows plenty of stuffing to support a long life ahead.

Product Notes

Betz Family Winery's Clos de Betz Columbia Valley wine is a sumptuous delight. A Bordeaux-inspired blend, the wine carries a vibrant palette of dark berries, complemented by subtle nuances of cocoa and spice, that serenade your taste buds. Its rich hues and prominent tannins offer a delightful texture, enhanced by the wine's meticulous aging process. The careful mix of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes from the Columbia Valley yields a perfectly balanced, full-bodied wine. This is a grand testament to Betz Family Winery's commitment to creating wines that reflect their terroir and convey true varietal character.

This winery is the brainchild of Bob and Cathy Betz, who have poured their passion for wine and exhaustive knowledge into sculpting its unparalleled reputation.

They are truly testaments to the winery’s finely honed artistry.

The winery is open mostly for its routinely-held special events; during which ardent connoisseurs and curious novices are invited to engage with the Griessels themselves. This affords visitors the opportunity of personally understanding what makes Betz Family Winery truly exceptional.
