Michelle. The Columbia Valley provides the raw materials: intense sunlight, cool nights, and volcanic soils that impart depth and vibrancy to the wines. Clos de Betz is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc—vinified according to Burgundian tradition and aged in French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, it displays dark cherry, plum, and black raspberry, underpinned by a medley of red spices and a subtle hint of smoke. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied with a silky texture; the firm, well-integrated tannins provide structure without harshness. The finish is long, with lingering dark fruit and a slightly spicy note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eFood pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e Leg of lamb with herb crust, beef fillet, mature cheddar cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eServing temperature:\u003c\/b\u003e 16–18 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/b\u003e now until 2030\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Betz Family Winery","offers":[{"title":"2018","offer_id":52694842179920,"sku":"V31627","price":69.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/vinoscout_betz_family_winery_clos_de_betz.webp?v=1771237629","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/betz-family-winery-clos-de-betz","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
