Not many in any country can boast the kind of history and legacy that Bindi Sergardi can. Their Mocenni estate is almost a mythical, untouched oasis in Tuscany, just north of Sienna in the Chianti Classico area of Vagligli. Here the estate was actually founded in 1067 as a fortress for Siena’s line of defense. It’s tucked away in the woods forming a south-facing amphitheater around the forest. Their reputation as an outsider that marches to the beat of their own drum has served them well, and critics can’t get enough of their wines.
The soil here is probably what sets them apart from everyone else. At an altitude of 1600 feet above sea level, the dirt here is the result of marine activity between 45-80 million years ago. The soil is Galestro, the rocky, schistous clay soil found in the vineyards of some of Tuscany’s very best wineries.
At these altitudes, you also great insane temperature drops from day to night, perfect for developing wines with natural acidic backbones. Throw in the long tradition of excellence and consistency, and you have all the ingredients for something special. This one is dark-fruited with a little earth and bramble to it. It’s an ideal compliment to lots of different food dishes but especially something with mushrooms and/or poultry.

Subtle aromas of cherries, walnuts and chocolate follow through to a full body with round, creamy tannins and a delicious finish. There’s lushness and freshness at the same time. Hints of orange peel at the end.

Though supple initially, there is an earthy note playing against the cherry and berry flavors. Iron and tobacco chime in as the lightly chewy tannins rise on the lingering finish.

This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.

If you’re looking for arguably the best expression of Rufina each year, you can’t do any better than Selvapiana. Located right in the heart of Chianti Rufina in Tuscany, the producer has long been considered one of the very best. Wine Spectator declared a few years back, “Selvapiana would give stiff competition to first-class red wines from just about anywhere else in the world. It also shows that Chianti Classico does not have a monopoly on the quality of Chianti as a whole.”
