Betz Family 2010 Clos de Betz Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Clos de Betz
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Betz Family / Columbia Valley (WA)

Betz Family’s Merlot-based blend offers sleek plum and cassis fruit, with a tart, sappy, yet penetrating presence. Despite some years in bottle, the acids seem to out-run the fruit, though that may bode well for cellaring.
