Betz Family Winery Bésoleil
The Bésoleil from Betz Family Winery is the Rhône soul of Washington — a Grenache-dominated blend that combines elegance and depth without showing off power.
Bob Betz founded the winery after 28 years as cellar master at Château Ste. Michelle — with an MW degree and the clear goal of establishing Rhône grape varieties in Washington's Columbia Valley. The Bésoleil (Provençal for "in the sun") reflects this origin: Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre from hand-selected sites in the Columbia Valley, where large temperature differences between day and night ensure aromatics and acidity structure.
In the glass, it shows aromas of strawberry compote, fresh cherry, and raspberry, complemented by white pepper, sandalwood, and dried herbs — typical for well-ripened Grenache with Syrah spice. The body is medium-bodied, the tannins fine and well-integrated, the finish long with a hint of minerality and fresh herbs.
Recommendation: Served at 16–18 °C. Goes well with leg of lamb with rosemary, braised duck, or an aged goat cheese.
