Black currants, spring flowers, mint and hints of lead pencil and cedar flow from the glass and this medium-bodied, lively and balanced red has bright acidity that’s balanced by good concentration and depth. Give it another 2-3 years in the cellar and enjoy bottles through 2023.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e A fine effort in this cool vintage, this Merlot-dominated Bordeaux-style blend is aromatically arresting, with complex flower and herb scents suggesting appealing delicacy.

It sources fruit through a number of partnerships in several of the regions sub-AVAs, dividing its catalogue between red Bordeaux-style and Rhône-style wines. The most prominent varieties are Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with Petit Verdot, Merlot and Grenache. The winery was established by Bob and Cathy Betz, with the inaugural 1997 vintage a limited production of roughly 150 cases. Bob worked as the estate's winemaker, having previously spent decades working at the major Washington wine company Chateau Ste. Michelle, and also completing the Master of Wine program. In 2011 however, the Betzes sold the winery to the South African couple Steve and Bridgit Griessel, while remaining part of the management team. Bob stayed on as winemaker until 2016, and remains involved with the winery as a consultant. Betz is best known for its red wines inspired by the French regions of the Rhône and Bordeaux. Fruit is sourced from different partner vineyards in several regions of the Columbia Valley, namely Yakima Valley and its sub-region Snipes Mountain, Red Mountain and Horse Heaven Hills. In 2016, the Betz winery partnered with South African wine producers Carl van de Merwe and Wendy Appelbaum to make and release a Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc under the label Quinta Essentia. The wine's first vintage was 2015 and limited to 600 cases.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42730735566986,"sku":"","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/6_70ea8f9a-6a3d-41fc-8b56-d733d80669ca.jpg?v=1675020726","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/products\/2011-betz-family-winery-clos-de-betz","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
