(8/1/2018) "A mix of pure cherry and cigar humidor aromas lead off, with the cherry theme continuing, supported by rosemary, iron and tar flavors. Big, burly tannins line the finish and should carry this wine for another few decades. Best from 2023 through 2040. 900 cases made."

(11/30/2018) "Aromas of plums, cherries and hints of green olives. White truffles and deep earth, too. Full-bodied, so layered and beautiful with a fabulous texture and ripe tannins. It is so pure and minimalist in the end, showing the effect of traditional, hands-off winemaking. Don't miss this. Decant before serving. One for the cellar. Drink or hold."

(8/2015) "Traditional style Chianti Classico with cedar, dried meat, dark chocolate and tobacco aromas. Full body, silky and polished tannins and a fantastic finish. A wine that shows depth and lots of flavor. Lively acidity too. Drink now."

(5/31/2017) "This is a top, dense and rich wine for the vintage with dried berry, meat and floral character. Full body, velvety tannins and a polished textured finish. Better in 2017."

(9/30/2017) "A slim yet heady dessert wine that starts out with beeswax, honey and glazed apple aromas, working toward walnut, molasses and salt flavors. Shows fine intensity and length. Malvasia and Trebbiano. Drink now through 2023. 200 cases made."

(12/31/2018) "Highly Recommended - A fresh, detailed style, exhibiting cherry, black currant, licorice, leather and iron aromas and flavors. This firms up as the latent structure emerges on the finish, yet the lasting impression is of equilibrium and sweet, ripe fruit. Best from 2020 through 2038."

Monte Bernardi "Sa'etta" Chianti Classico Riserva 2011
We scored the last of our supplier's inventory of this under-the-radar gem at a dramatically reduced price!

Our Score
(6/2017) Monte Bernardi is a small, family-run estate located in the village of Panzano in the heart of Chianti Classico. They only produce wines from vineyards they farm themselves using biodynamic practices, with the goal of allowing the wine to express the land it comes from. This gorgeous Chianti Classico Riserva is 100% Sangiovese that comes from a special single-vineyard named "Sa'etta." It is aged for 24 months in oak casks, followed by another 12 months in bottle, resulting in a style that is closer to a Brunello than Chianti. This 2011 (a very good vintage) is starting to drink beautifully now and will continue to improve with further bottle age. Classic dried red fruits of cranberries and cherries are interwoven with delicious oak spices and a warm, stony minerality. At our blow-out price, this is one seriously great buy!

(10/31/2018) "Warm aromas of dark fruit, potting soil and moist chewing tobacco rise from the bouquet of the 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva. This is an extremely territory-driven wine that emits aromas that recall the red clay soils and warm summer breezes of the Castelnuovo Berardenga area to the southern side of the Chianti Classico appellation. This is a soft and enriched red wine (made with 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon) that produces sweet textural richness and plenty of ripe fruit packed within that generous fiber."

(10/31/2017) "The 2015 Chianti Classico is a bright and convincing wine from Barberino Val d'Elsa, one of the main comuni in the greater Chianti Classico appellation. This is a smooth and silky Sangiovese that glides clean over the palate with strength and intensity. Bright cherry, blueberry and herbal accents with wild sage and rosemary characterize the finish. Like many other wines from the 2015 vintage, there is an evident touch of cherry sweetness on the close. Drink Date 2017 - 2025."
