Sleek and lilting, with elegantly complex red currant, dusky spice and tobacco flavors that build structure and polish toward refined tannins. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2031.

Aromas of crushed blackberries, red cherries and sage. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Elegant and polished on the palate. Linear, with lovely harmony and length. Nuanced and refined. Well-ripened fruit, but not overdone, with charming complexity. A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Drink or hold.

Succulent, ripe and juicy, the 2019 Clos de Betz offers fresh aromas of red cherry, juicy plum and black raspberry with a delightful dusty and floral essence that wafts from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is focused, precise and delineated, showing impressive mineral tension, mouth-watering acidity and fine-grained tannins. The Clos de Betz concludes with a long-lingering and evolving finish and will remain food-friendly for almost two decades, proving to be crushable in youth and age-worthy with cellaring.

This is a glorious offering of this Merlot-dominant blend, featuring a whopping 28% Petit Verdot and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of cocoa, plum, spice, licorice, chocolate, flower and moist earth lead to plush, palate-coating flavors that show precision and detail and sneaky intensity that only ramps up over time. The finish goes on and on. It's gorgeous—among the best the winery has made in the last decade. Best from 2026–2032.
Cellar Selection

Lots of darker cherries, dried herbs, leather, and a hint of chocolate emerge from the 2019 Clos De Betz, a medium to full-bodied, pretty, polished, elegant red with enough density and depth to evolve for a decade. The blend is 51% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 28% Petit Verdot that was brought up in 59% new French oak.
