The aromas of 2015 Clos de Betz lead with spices of cardomom and five-spice. Red fruit aromas of black cherry, pomegranate, and raspberry flavors are complimented by cedar and sassafras notes. A very long Malolactic fermentation, which lasted into April, endowed this Merlot with lots with unusually silky textures. The integration of tannins has lent this notable finish.
