Sean Thackrey
Pleiades XXII Red Wine Trio
This product is not currently available.
Why to buy: The Pleaides XXII is delicious, lively, rich, remarkably charming and interesting, and thus the perfect mate for almost any of us. The object of Pleiades is to be delicious, delight the jaded, irritate the Wine Police, and generally go well with anything red wine goes well with. br>
Characteristics: This twenty-second edition, bottled in June of 2012, includes Sangiovese, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Mouvedre, to name but a few. Fragrant and voluptuous when first released, it will become far more subtle and complex with age, as of course we all will: but such restraint may be just too much to ask…This dark ruby-colored wine is round, generous, savory, and all that a delicious, seductive red wine should be.
Varietal: A blend of Sangiovese, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Mouvedre, and more
Appellation: California
Alcohol: 13.2%
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.
