Betz Family Winery Bésoleil 2018

Description

Grenache makes up 46% of this wine, with Mourvèdre and Counoise each accounting for 24% and the balance being Syrah. With the majority of the fruit coming from Olsen Vineyard in Yakima Valley, the aromas explode from the glass, with notes of raspberry, smoked meat, huckleberry and white pepper. The palate has dense, textured, layered fruit flavors but still remains fleet of foot. There is a compelling sense of freshness and texture to it. It's a complete dazzler. Editors' Choice. [Drink now through early-to-mid-2030s.] Score - 94. (Sean P. Sullivan, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 31, 2020)
