2013 Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The wonderful 2013 Crianza from Hacienda Monasterio is one of the great successes from a challenging vintage that resulted in a heterogeneous collection of wines, where you can find the best and the worst. 2013 was a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ The 2013 Morellino di Scansano Riserva Poggio Valente is a breakthrough wine for Fattoria le Pupille and its talented winemaking team. This is a complete and balanced expression that shows its best side to all the...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Aromas of blackberries, walnuts and light wet earth follow through to a full to medium body, light chocolate and a long finish. Refined and polished. Classic style. Better in 2019.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2013 Proprietary Red from Bootleg is a major sleeper of not only the vintage, but in its entire concept. There are just over 8,000 cases of this wine, which has been culled from KJ vineyards on Atlas Peak, Oakville...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: (95+) Michel Rolland's enormous experience and obvious knowledge of great viticulture and winemaking has turned out a 300-case cuvée (14.7% natural alcohol) of exceptional wine. Notes of graphite, créme de cassis...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2013 Perlato del Bosco is a pure Sangiovese from a vineyard located just beyond the property's main house. This is Tua Rita's biggest seller when it comes to the USA market and with good reason. It shows a unique...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: 93+ Fully saturated deep ruby. Leafy nuances and notes of sassafras dominate the deep but youthfully reticent dark red fruit on the nose. Then smooth and dense, with forward flavors of red cherry, dark plum, cassis, and...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: A rustic, hearty style that’s not shy about extraction, density or oak, offering a chewy mouthful of graphite- and lead pencil–shaded dark berry flavors. On the finish, this shows potential, delivering persistence...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This is a very sleek and racy wine with lots of stone, white pepper and fresh rosemary character. Then takes off with dried ripe fruits such as currants and blueberries. Dark chocolate too. This a real mouthful yet...

James Halliday, 98 points: 55% machine-picked at night, 45% hand-picked, 64% cultured yeast, 36% wild yeast, fermented in and matured for 11 months in new French oak. It is supremely elegant and finely balanced, and has absorbed the new oak in a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Another single parcel release, the 2013 Minervois la Ciaude comes from the clay and rocky soils around the town of Cazelles and is mostly Carignan (100+-year-old vines) and Syrah, yet incorporates a splash of Grenache...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The Pio Cesare 2013 Barolo offers all of the plentiful qualities that make this such a memorable vintage. Because the growing season was slightly cooler compared to the two years preceding it, 2013 offers a great sense of...
