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.

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!
It’s no surprise the Wine Advocate has called the Ventoux a “screaming bargain.” Carved off the left bank of the Rhone River, the 2020 Delas Ventoux is a gorgeous medium-bodied wine with wonderful crushed red fruits, a silky mouthfeel, tremendous structure and that signature Rhone spice on the finish. I haven’t had this wine available for a few vintages, but I figure it’s the perfect springtime Red to bring back in the fold!

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
