Sean Thackrey
Andromeda Pinot Noir Vertical
This product is not currently available.
2006: 90 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Why to buy: This is Pinot Noir from a vineyard above Nicasio in Marin County, thus the closest to Bolinas of all the vineyards we harvest from, and one of the cooler and windier Pinot Noir growing sites in the world. It is absolutely delicious. So we recommend it without reservation, even to the most evangelical of Wine Police.
Characteristics: Wonderfully lush and velvety with a ruby body, the Andromeda carries unique aromas of black cherry and spice with notes of green garden and cut flowers. Its unusual aromatics span across rose, musk, and sage. The wine is smoothly textured with soft tannins and fully ripened berries.
Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir from Devil's Gulch Vineyard
Appellation: Marin County, California
Alcohol: 13.7%
Here's what you get: 1 bottle each of 2006, 2007, and 2008 Andromeda Pinot Noir
Backstory: For the past three decades, Sean Thackrey has created a series of iconic and critically acclaimed wines in Bolinas, California. Guided by his artistic intuition and methods culled from ancient texts, Thackrey pioneered an experimental hand-crafted approach to creating brilliant California wines, often from obscure vineyard sources and varietals. The wines have created a cult following of connoisseurs seeking highly-extracted, intensely flavored, inky-black red wines and lush white that are immensely flattering while young and powerfully elegant after cellaring. Ancient vines, tiny juice yields, and oak aging have resulted in small production numbers and remarkable quality levels. La Revue du Vin de France has recognized Sean Thackrey one of the ten great winemakers of North America. Robert Parker has reviewed his wines since 1981 and has never awarded less than 90 points to any vintage release.
