My first Thackery, if you don't know who he is you don't know NoCal wines well enough. A big wine that is comfortable in its size, with beautiful edges of fresh acidity and purple flowers, a tinge of cinnamon and mint on the finish. Perfectly balanced, with tremendous depth, purity and a long, complex finish. This makes me curious to try more #Thackery The Rossi vineyard is in St. Helena (Napa) and is 5 acres of mixed plantings of Rhone grapes, the exact proportions unknown.

Solid but not extraordinary. Not worth the price of admission. Smooth considering the alcohol level. Tasty...

Liqueur-like without the heat. Truly amazing balance and finish. If only more CA wine was like this...

Definitely that dark, inky Syrah if that's what you'd like. Can always count on Thackrey for great wine!
