It’s the end of an era. The final bottling from the legendary Sean Thackrey, the iconoclastic California winemaker whose art, irreverence, and intuition changed the landscape of West Coast wine forever.

The Pleiades XXII marks the last release from the Thackrey estate — a non-vintage, multi-varietal masterpiece that blends Pinot Noir (40%), Petite Sirah (21%), Petit Verdot (17%), Sangiovese (11%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), and Grenache (2%). What makes this final edition truly special is that it includes nine barrels of Thackrey’s 2019 Andromeda Pinot Noir, a wine that typically sold for $80 on its own.

Crafted by Thackrey’s longtime collaborator Dustin Durfee, this is the final chapter in a wine that was never about conformity — just pure, delicious, joy-driven craftsmanship. Expect layers of ripe red cherry, chocolate mint, herbs, and wild fruit, all tied together in that unmistakable Thackrey style: soulful, unpretentious, and impossible to replicate.

At $11.98, it’s not just a value — it’s a collectible piece of California wine history
