Score 90/100 · Drink 1993-2008, Robert Parker, Oct 1993

The 1989 Sirius, made from old vines of Petite Sirah in the Marston Vineyard of Napa Valley, is a black-colored, dense wine. In addition to the impressive color, this wine gives up a huge bouquet of black-raspberries, spices, licorice, and even some fragrant floral scents. It is opulently rich in the mouth, with gobs of fruit, and has avoided the astringency and tannin that one often gets with such intensely flavored Petite Sirah. This beauty can be drunk now for its youthful exuberance, but it should evolve for 10-15 years or more in a cool cellar. As I have stated so many times before, Sean Thackrey's limited production gems are among the most original expressions of winemaking in California.
