Thackrey "Orion" Rossi Vyd., St. Helena 2000

Deep purple/red.

Vinturi - another sumptuous wine - oak embers, light eucalyptus, dried fig, black raspberry, grilled meat nose. Reminds me of a great, vibrant, Shiraz.

Deep, with a slight textural sweetness. Immediately tempered by strong acidity. Deep, but relatively one-dimensional. Needs more cellar time.


$75
