Sean Thackrey was a legendary American winemaker based out of Bolinas, CA. Thackrey has been described as having been an unconventional winemaker who did pioneering work in promoting California Syrah. Thackrey sourced fruit from grape growers in Napa Valley, Marin County and Mendocino, and was prone to employ the unconventional technique of letting grapes "rest" at least 24 hours outside, fermenting under the stars. Thackrey's flagship wine is Orion.
