Natalie's Score: 91/100

From the Tuscany wine region, Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2020 is a savoury and juicy red wine blend of 60% Sangiovese with the balance in Cabernet sourced from grower-partners in Chianti Classico and Chianti Rufina. The 2020 vintage was a warm one in Tuscany and Bolgheri and timing became critical in harvesting the Cabernet Sauvignon before grapes became overripe. That said, this vintage is elegant and deliciously fruit-driven with ripe cherry, savoury herbs, red berry and blood orange zest flavours, silky, zesty and long on the palate.

Food pairings: prime rib, hearty meat stews, pork tenderloin.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
