  This is a bit of history in a bottle… 1995 Thackrey Orion California Red wine. A field blend from the Rossi Vineyard in St. Helena. Planted in 1905 to primarily Syrah but only the ghosts know what else. This magnum was incredibly fresh with primary muted red fruit, supple, sweet tannin, and a long finish. Sean was an amazing wine maker and I’m so pleased to be able to share his legacy with friends.

  Unique wine with a unique flavor profile. Nice balance between fruit, acid and structure. Shows a flavor allegiance to Cote Rotie, but uniquely of its own place. Smoky, juicy and a bit of charcoal on the chewy finish. Signature eucalyptus note on the scent and finish from the vinification. Still drinking well, but on a long, slow, gradual decline. Drink up.

  Decanted and served. Fully mature classic Napa Cabernet with old oak and plentiful dried cassis dominating the palate. Going strong, no rush.

  Open dark fruit driven nose. Opaque color. Spicy fruit flavors with the tannins. Still tasting very young. Excellent! Had at a Super Bowl party.
