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 just be too much to ask...Perfumed dark fruits fill your glass when first opened and are followed by a brightly focused core of red berries, baking spice and juicy acidity. A blend of Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Viognier and Petite Syrah to name but a few. A wine truly greater than the sum of its
parts!

Sean Thackrey Description

The experimental nonvintage blend Pleiades (Sean Thackrey Pleiades California Red Table Wine) was first released in 1992. Made from a host of different grape varieties (potentially both white and red, such as Syrah, Barbera, Zinfandel, Carignan, Pinot noir, Mourvèdre and Grenache), potentially from different regions and different vintages.The recipe changes every year, depending on the decisions of Thackrey and the fruit sourced. Thackrey has said, "It's like a chef's special. You trust the chef so you're prepared to order the dish of the day".

This is Sean Thackery's twenty-eighth vintage of the Pleiades. It is a unique blend of mostly Sangiovese, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Mourvedre. It has a floral perfume and a round, robust palate with flavors of black cherry, currants and wild berries. The jammy fruit character is balanced with smooth tannins and ample acidity. The wine finishes with lingering notes of vanilla and spice. A terrific value and a delicious wine that is so versatile it can be paired with a variety of different dishes.
