Round and smooth, exhibiting cherry and herb flavors in a straightforward way, with moderate length. This is balanced and ready to enjoy. Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2018. Score: 89 Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2015-2018 31 October 2015 |

The 2013 Le Difese is absolutely gorgeous. Sweet, layered and highly expressive, the 2013 possesses superb balance. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, mint, cedar and spice take on a translucent sense of expression. This is one of the best versions of Le Difese I can remember tasting, Score: 90 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com Maturity: 2015-2021 01 October 2015 |

Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese make up the 2013 Le Difese. The wine opens to a garnet hue and medium consistency. It's easy-drinking style is reinforced by bright berry flavors of blueberry and cassis followed by sour cherry and cranberry. This vintage is slightly thornier and more acidic than the warmer vintages that precede it. It also shows an extra touch of elegance and persistency. The wine is silky and tight on the close with a long sense of berry freshness that keeps it alive on the palate. Score: 90 Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2015-2018 01 June 2015 |
