Sean Thackrey "Pleiades" Petite Sirah, California
$36.99
Sean Thackrey "Pleiades" Petite Sirah, California
Rare new Petite Sirah release from the iconoclastic Sean Thackrey. Limited.
Beauty often dwells in unexpected places; in this case, that place is the Dunnigan Hills and the bucolic Pheasant Glen in Yolo County. From proper spelling to its intentions as an earnest variety, Petite Sirah is often a grape of much debate. Too often hidden as a component in a blend (and doing the heavy lifting, no doubt!), Sean Thackrey choose instead to offer it up fully and celebrate it entirely in this limited bottling. If not a Sirius wine, then this might instead be considered a Serious wine. Enjoy.
Sean Thackrey is one of the most influential and interesting people in the Bay Area Food and Wine community. Since 1980, he has been producing wines that are extraordinary: not only for quality and complexity, but also because he utilizes unique wine-making techniques, often drawing from historic, sometimes ancient, winemaking practices from all over the world. Sean sources grapes from many locations throughout California, and makes all his wines by hand (touching every grape) at his small Bolinas winery. Self-taught, and fully reliant on his intuition and senses, Sean is the antithesis of corporate wine-making. Indicative blend: Syrah, Sangiovese, Mourvedre, Barbera, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Viognier, among others. Each release is labeled with Roman numerals
