Sean Thackrey’s has a slightly ramshackle winery in cool Bolinas, just north of San Francisco. Something of an independently minded intellectual, he makes wines to please himself and hence the unconventional range of wines. One of the oldest vineyards in Marin County is Devil's Gulch Vineyard, owned and farmed by Mark Pasternak. 'Marin is clearly cooler then Carneros or Santa Barbara, more like the Sonoma Coast around Freestone,' says Pasternak. He adds that 'because of these cool growing conditions Marin Pinots are more elegant, with more black fruit nuances.' Sean Thackrey is one of the producers that purchase Pinot Noir from Devil's Gulch vineyrad and he has produced a rich dense ruby coloured wine showing plum and blackberry aromas. In the mouth the plumy fruit flavours develop while french oak characters are evident in this well structured Pinot Noir that has a mouth coating finish. Limited Availability. (12 x 75 cl)

Sean Thackrey AQUILA Marin County California
Description: Sean Thackrey’s has a slightly ramshackle winery in cool Bolinas, just north of San Francisco. Something of an independently minded intellectual, he makes wines to please himself and hence the unconventional range of wines. A deep red coloured Sangiovese with aromas of licorice and bold red fruit with cherry candy sweetness. The aromas develop onto the palate that is showing exceptional body and weight. The use of barrel ageing is evident as the sweet and well integrated oak combines well with the fruit character into a long lingering finish. Limited Availability. (12 x 75 cl)

Sean Thackrey SIRIUS Petite Sirah Marin County California
Description: Sean Thackrey’s has a slightly ramshackle winery in cool Bolinas, just north of San Francisco.

An unusual varietal for California but this Petit Sirah is a well made deep dark almost black coloured wine. Intense and concentrated dark fruit dominate the palate while the use of oak shows a winemaker in command. Depite its considerable size this is a very approachable red with excellent balance and structure through to the long finish. Limited Availability. (12 x 75 cl)

Sean Thackrey PLEIADES XVI Marin County California
Description: Sean Thackrey’s has a slightly ramshackle winery in cool Bolinas, just north of San Francisco. Something of an independently minded intellectual, he makes wines to please himself and hence the unconventional range of wines. Pleiades is made each vintage and the roman numerals reflect which version rather than year he produced the wine. The XV is a blend based around Grenache, Syrah and Zinfandel which is a little different every year and could be considered a kind of chef special while it is a wine that’s designed for drinking now. A purplish-ruby coloured wine showing a nose dominated by cloves and spice. The fruit driven palate is showing strawberry and cherry fruit character that gives way to an enjoyably long complex spicy finish. Limited Availability. (12 x 75 cl)
