Anne Sery Martindale has been making serious waves with her Pinots as of late, especially amongst the top restaurants in NYC.
Her wines were already the by-the-glass pour at Chinese Tuxedo, Lure Fishbar, the Mandarin Oriental, Chef Carmellini’s The Dutch, Little Park, and the Westlight among others… And that’s before Super-Somm Rajat Parr tapped Anne to make an exclusive Pinot Noir just for Daniel Boulud’s restaurants.
But the Denis Dubourdieu protege had cut her teeth at the University of Bordeaux and despite all the Pinot success, she still had the itch to make a truly great Bordeaux-styled American wine. Of course, Oregon would be an unlikely home, so she began a hunt that took months to complete finally landing a few hours north in Washington State.
She decided to dip her toes in the Washington water and make a Trousse Chemise Columbia Valley Cabernet the past two years while she made new contacts each vintage.
But in 2018, in her third year, Anne dove head first into the deep end with the help of her mentor, Laurent Montalieu, securing two extremely precious contracts with some of the oldest, most-established vineyards in the state – setting the stage for refined, structured reds reminiscent of her Left Bank origins.
Anne did me the courtesy of extending the terms of the NDA to me so I could know exactly what’s in the bottle, but I obviously can’t tell you. But I can tell you she got the grapes for peanuts and the reason for the owner’s discretion is quite obvious.

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.”
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the 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!
