Tasting note
Clos du Soleil's 2022 Béton should pair Merlot's plum and black cherry aromas with a faint violet accent. Its Similkameen Valley fruit is expected to feel plush at first, then gain shape from supple tannins and bright, refreshing acidity. The stated peak years are 2026 to 2030, and the drinking span continues through 2034. On the close, dark plum skin, a savory hint and a gentle earthy note should remain, giving the ripe flavors a composed finish.
