About Tin Barn Vineyards: “Tin Barn Vineyards celebrates those hidden treasures that lie off the map. Our wines highlight the true character of Sonoma County. High atop the ridges of the Sonoma Coast, just off Tin Barn Road, lies a remote plot of Syrah vines. From this fog enshrouded slope, we sourced grapes for our very first wine and found inspiration for our name. That was back in 2000. In the years since, winemaker Michael Lancaster and his business partners have made a fitting home in our own “tin barn” – a warehouse in rural Sonoma that serves as both cellar space and tasting room. Here, we craft and share our award winning, single-vineyard wines that are cherished for their uncommon balance and elegance. Our tasting room offers guests a relaxed and unpretentious window into our winemaking process. Come visit us sometime!”

TASTING NOTES: “While our Russian River Valley Zinfandel provides a fruit forward, medium-bodied experience with more balanced tannins and a velvety mouthfeel with a long, seductive finish, our Los Chamizal Vineyard Zinfandel has a deeper berry fruit quality with more tannic structure on the finish. Each of our single-vineyard Zinfandels reflects the distinct qualities of its terroir. In an effort to retain the characteristics of these two unique vineyards, the wines are hand-crafted with minimal intervention…

Sprawled across the rocky mountainside terraces of the Mayacamas Mountains is Los Chamizal Vineyard in the Sonoma Valley. The complex soils here range from volcanic ash to igneous rock, and the significant sun exposure in the area creates an ideal setting for growing classic zinfandel. The result is a delectable full-bodied Zinfandel displaying cranberry fruit aromas with hints of candied violets amid a finely balanced tannin structure.” (AbV 15.5%, pH 3.82, TA 6.2 g/L)

VARIETALS: 92% Zinfandel, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Syrah.

BARRELS: 15 months in French and Hungarian oak, 10% new.

PAIRS WITH: Sharp cheeses, as well as burgers, grilled sausages and pork.

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Tin Soldier.

Did you know a movie called Tin Soldier came out last year? I didn’t. I would guess most people didn’t. Had Jamie Foxx, John Leguizamo, Robert De Niro, Scott Eastwood… Anyway, here are some critic blurbs I got off the ole Rotten Tomatoes:

“Squandering a very capable cast, the film struggles to translate all of its paranoid conspiracies into consistent suspense.” - Todd Jorgenson, Cinemalogue

“Tin Soldier wastes an A-list cast on one of the most incoherent and flawed action films in recent memory” - M.N. Miller, FandomWire

“I have no idea what Tin Soldier is, where it came from, how it was released, or who thought it’d be a good idea.” - Jonathon Wilson, Ready Steady Cut
