Sean Thackrey was one of the most influential and interesting people in the Bay Area food and wine community. Since 1980 until his recent death, Sean Thackrey produced wines that were extraordinary: not only for quality and complexity, but also because he utilized unique winemaking techniques, often drawing from historic, sometimes ancient, winemaking practices from all over the world. Self-taught, and fully reliant on his intuition and senses, Sean was the antithesis of corporate wine-making and his presence in the world of wine will be dearly missed. Indicative blend for the Old Vine bottling: Syrah, Sangiovese, Mourvèdre, Barbera, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Viognier, among others. Each release is labeled with Roman numerals.
