Note di degustazione
(a blend of 57% merlot, 33% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc) Good medium ruby. Aromas of crunchy black raspberry, smoke, coffee bean and baking spices. Rich and plummy, with a compelling creaminess for this cuvee, along with excellent structure and grip. This very young wine, which was bottled in May, closed up in the glass and showed building tannins with aeration. Finishes very firm and long, with notes of minerals and woodsmoke.

The dark-colored 2002 Clos de Betz (bottled in early May, 2004, this wine’s name is a play on Burgundy’s Clos de Beze) is a blend of 57% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Its blackberry, roasted oak, and spice scents lead to a medium-bodied core of satiny red and black fruits. Some alcoholic warmth was detected in this expressive, well-fashioned effort’s finish. Drink it over the next 7 years. (Not yet released) Tel. (425) 415-1751 www.betzfamilywinery.com
