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!
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.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
