2003 Sean Thackrey Orion St. Helena Red Blend

The blockbuster 2003 Orion is 100% Syrah from Napa's Rossi Vineyard. It boasts an inky/blue/purple hue as well as a sumptuous perfume of creosote, blueberries, blackberries, graphite, and incense. Superb character and nuance are offered in a full-bodied, powerful, rich yet brilliantly etched style. This beauty should drink well for a decade or more. (RP) Review Date: August 2006
