You'll thank us later. This award-winning single vineyard Zin and reader favorite is back for National Zinfandel Day. Better yet, it's over HALF OFF with our INSIDER DEAL. It's the Tin Barn Gilsson Vineyard Russian River Valley Zinfandel.
If you're a Zin lover (or any kind of wine lover really - see the story below), you don't want to miss this incredible deal on a wine that's drinking absolutely wonderfully right now.
As we noted above, National Zinfandel Day is Wednesday November 17th. In honor of that we've brought back one of our all-time favorite Zinfandel deals.
The 2015 Tin Barn Gilsson Vineyard Russian River Valley Zinfandel was a gold medal winner at the San Francisco International Wine Competition and comes from a 70-year-old vineyard in the Russian River Valley. It spends 19 months in oak barrels (20% new American). Only 521 cases of this small production beauty were made.
Even more importantly, the feedback we got on this wine the last time we offered it was absolutely stellar. That includes this gem from a frequent buyer who decided to give the wine a try even though they "don't drink Zin":
We, of course, had to try out the Tin Barn Zin. It was delicious. We finished off two bottles and, supposedly, don’t drink Zins. It’s wonderful…
And this one...
One of my favorite Reverse Snob buys. Had to get some more!
This 100% Zinfandel, all from the Gilsson Vineyard in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County, is pretty much only available from the winery at its normal price of $29.
Today's 6 bottles for $89.99 deal; however, slashes that price to just $15 a bottle! That's a discount of 52%, or over $100, after factoring in the additional savings from our super low $5 shipping.
Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 6-packs you buy.
This 6-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)
This is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Wednesday 11/17/2021 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

From the bottle:
Tin Barn Vineyards celebrates those hidden treasures that lie off the map. Winemaker Michael Lancaster works to create single vineyard wines expressing the true character of our Sonoma County home.
Gilsson Vineyard is a stretch of sandy loam east of Windsor, where morning fog allows the fruit to thrive in mild conditions. We have relied on this treasured source of Zinfandel for over a decade. With its velvety mouthfeel and deep black raspberry flavors, this is an uncommonly seductive wine.
Produced & Bottled by Tin Barn Vineyards
15.7% Alcohol
The 2015 Tin Barn Gilsson Vineyard Russian River Valley Zinfandel begins with a very nice, very attractive and succulent aroma of red cherry and a touch of a raisin-y note plus spice, vanilla, licorice and more.
In the mouth this is tasty and balanced with well-integrated spice, a bit of an oaky streak and maybe just a hint of earth. It's big and loaded with deep and delicious fruit flavors but still elegant and refined, and not over the top like many other Zins. It carries the 15.7% alcohol quite well and it gets even better with some air.
It ends slightly tannic and very long with just a touch of heat and lingering spice under the sweet tasting fruit on the dry finish. I have to say once again that I really, really enjoyed this wine and it's drinking absolutely wonderfully right now. Just get it!

And here's what people are saying about our previous Insider Deals:
"This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon. And $5 shipping for four bottles? You've outdone yourself!"
