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.

92 Pts, James Suckling
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.
90 Pts, Wine Spectator
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.

Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 95 Points, Lisa Perotti-Brown
The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
