THINKING-DRINKING
Sean Thackrey is one of the more interesting people making wine in California. Once an art dealer in San Francisco, he moved to Bolinas, planted some vines, and started sourcing fruit from friends. His collection of ancient texts— some almost 1,000 years old— helps to inform his winemaking philosophies. He’ll make wine as they did centuries ago. At times, he will leave the harvested grapes out under the stars to ferment, then name these wines after the constellations that oversee their transformation.
This Orion is from vines that were 90 years old at the ‘96 harvest. The grapes were planted just before WWI & Prohibition, and survived both.
This was quite a beautiful wine— stunning really— and Thackrey has certainly succeeded in revealing the individuality of this particular vineyard, which he believes to be mostly syrah.
One thing that always strikes me about Thackrey’s wines are the complex aromatics. The nose is always changing and dancing, as images dance through a fog or mist as you pass by them, so do aromas emerge and retreat to and from these wines. Sometimes you’ll smell purple flowers, then meat, then your grandma’s house. It’s such interesting wine to drink, and soul stirring.

United States - Powerful and intense with rugged tannins using methods from ancient texts. Named for the Pleiades star cluster this wine is a blend of syrah sangiovese mourvedre barbera carignane petite sirah and viognier among others. Sean Thackrey blends by taste and doesn’t keep track of the fruit that ends up in each blend so its different from year to year. Juicy fruit earth and Thackreys signature eucalyptus note.

Grape Merlot, Syrah-Shiraz, Carignan, Zinfandel, Petite Syrah
This is a blend of seven red grapes, most of which are Rhône varietals but it also contains some Zinfandel aswell. Dark brick red in colour revealing perfumed aromas of blackberry and strawberry fruits combined with ripe black cherry fruits on the palate. Smooth and enticing with a sheer elegance throughout - fantastic value!

In 1979 Sean Thackrey turned his hand from selling antique books to winemaking. He is definitely not your usual winemaker. Living on the edge of the world down in Marin county he makes these handcrafted wines in his outdoor winery beneath the eucalyptus trees.
