The Mourvedre fraction (15%) stepped through in the wine, making the 2012 deeper, more structured yet finely layered. Grenache (50%) still dominates the blend, with its creamy black raspberry, wild dried strawberry, dried herbs and floral notes. Cinsault (20%) fills in with its dusty blue notes, and Yakima Valley Syrah (15%) provides more backbone. This is a Bésoleil for the cellar, dense and full, and a few years of aging will expand its Chateauneuf-like appeal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cspan style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\"The only other 2013 reviewed on this go around (most were reviewed last year), the 2013 Clos de Betz checks in as a blend of 63% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Petit Verdot, mostly from Red Mountain and Yakima Valley, that spent 19 months in French oak. Sexy, supple, perfumed and beautifully complex, with notes of currants, dried flowers and an almost garrigue like perfume, this full-bodied beauty is already impossible to resist, yet will absolutely cruise for another 10-15 years. - Jeb Dunnuck\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Wine Advocate (Issue #225, June 2016), 94 pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Betz Family Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948927709231,"sku":"W0EE323016BLL","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/2012_20Clos_20de_20Betz_20bottle_baecd5f2-7e15-4460-8f93-5df8ba979e80.jpg?v=1771485285","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/betz-family-clos-de-betz-2013","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
