    INSIDER DEAL! Tin Barn Pickberry Vineyard Merlot - Pure Pleasure

    Reader favorite Tin Barn Vineyards is back with another single vineyard Gold Medal winning wine!

    This Tin Barn Vineyards Merlot comes from the Pickberry Vineyard on the northeast slope of Sonoma Mountain in Sonoma Valley, California. The wine spends 19 months in 28% new French Oak. Just 194 cases were produced.

    This wine is typically only available from the winery at the SRP of $32. As we mentioned above, the 2017 we are offering here won a Gold Medal at the 2021 SF Chronicle Wine Competition. It only took us one sip to know why. And now you can too, at huge discount thanks to our 1-day deal.

    Today's Insider Deal gets you 4 bottles of the 2017 Tin Barn Pickberry Vineyard Merlot for just $79.99, or $20 a bottle, plus $5 for shipping. That's a total discount of 42%!

    Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 4-packs you buy. Keep on reading for our full review.

    This 4-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, 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 limited time, winery direct offer ends Friday 1/28/2022 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com to checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order.

    If you have more questions or any trouble ordering please check out our FAQ! Also please note that ordering accounts are not automatically created so there is no need to login unless you have previously ordered and checked the box to create an account during checkout (which is not required).

    2017 Tin Barn Pickberry Vineyard Merlot

    From the winery:

    The 2017 Pickberry Vineyard Merlot offers a burst of black cherry with a touch of cocoa and lingering finish.

    Pickberry Vineyard sprawls over 30 rolling acres on the northeast slope of Sonoma Mountain. Planted in the 80s in volcanic soil, the vines are subject to balmy days and cool nights.

    Produced & Bottled By Tin Barn Vineyards
    14.7% Alcohol

    2017 Tin Barn Pickberry Vineyard Merlot Back Label

    The 2017 Tin Barn Pickberry Vineyard Merlot begins with a simply wonderful aroma of dark fruit, vanilla, spice, cocoa, licorice, leather and more.

    It only takes one sip to discover this is pure pleasure. In the mouth you'll find lots of rich, juicy fruit loaded with all those same touches from the nose - vanilla, spice, cocoa, leather, licorice and more. If you enjoy wines with a lot of oak influence, this is the one for you! There's nothing subtle about it including the tannins. Quite tasty now, this is likely to improve over the next couple of years.

    It ends dry, grippy, very long and juicy with lots of lingering flavors.

    Here's what people are saying about our previous Insider Deals:

    "I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you"

    "The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn't purchase more."

    "I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!"

    "This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon. And $5 shipping for four bottles? You've outdone yourself!"

    "Thanks Jon. We already drank all 6 of the first order so we were ecstatic to see you offering it again. My wife and I both love it."

    "You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!"

    "Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about - bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!"

    "Great deals for delicious wines!"

    "We've gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more."

    "The $5 or $10 shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)....yikes!"

    "Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn't I buy a case??!!"

    "Absolutely delicious wine!!!"

    "My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!)​ Thanks for what you do and providing this service!​"

    "Jon - you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!"

    "I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)"

    "The wine is outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case."

    "Jon, I should have bought more! Delicious!!"

    "I am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!"

    "Wish I would have ordered more!! It was great. Looking back, I wish I didn’t open it at our annual pool party. It’s gone. **Sob**"

    "thanks for the deal...this wine is spectacular for $12.50/bottle. I am used to buying big, bold, young cabs or old vine zins and paying considerably more multiples of this price."

    "Hi Jon, just had to let you know that I love this wine!!!! Thanks for doing what you do."

    "I have purchased many times over the last several months and loved the wines!"

    "Seriously amazing deal!!! I love a bold red, and Reverse Wine Snob delivered!!! Perfect for a rainy night!!"

    "AMAZING!! Damn, I should have bought a CASE!!"

    "WOW. Just... wow. Absolutely delicious. If I knew it was going to be this good, I would have bought a case... or two. This was dead-center in the sweet spot of what I like. Thank you!!"

    "I have loved all my RWS deals, can't wait to get this one."

    "I know that you don't need to have 'customers' email you every time they like a wine that you have suggested/rated, and I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. But this Tannat was spectacular! Wow! That was amazing!"

    "I finally opened a bottle of this and it did not disappoint. Delicious!!!"

    "Thanks for a great service! We’ve been loving your emails and wine deals!"

    "This insider deal is a great wine!!! So glad I got it!!"

    "My Insider Deal arrived just in time for my celebration tonight and it’s absolutely delicious! Cheers!"

    "Wish I had doubled my order!"

    "Wow - this wine is amazing!!! Glad I have two more bottles of it!!"

    "Bought a case wish I had purchased 2-3 cases. Fantastic buy for the price."

    "This Insider Deal was the best ever. This wine is amazing!!! Strongly recommend."

    Grab this deal while you can! It ends Friday 1/28 at noon Pacific.
