WELCOME TO TIN BARN VINEYARDS
Tin Barn is the fruit of five friends' passion for the grape. Our wines are crafted from vineyards specifically chosen for their unique soils and optimal growing locations.
High atop the ridges of the Sonoma Coast, near the intersection of King Ridge Road and Tin Barn Road, is a tiny Syrah vineyard called Coryelle Fields. From this distinctive and rocky location we not only derived inspiration for our name, but also gained our first vineyard source for grapes. In addition to this unique vineyard, Tin Barn produces Cabernet Sauvignon from the hills above Lake Sonoma and the hills east of Rutherford in the Napa Valley. Our Russian River Zinfandel is sourced from a 35 year old vineyard near Windsor, in Sonoma County and our Napa Zinfandel comes from a 40 year old dry farmed vineyard in Chiles Valley. In 2004 we released our first Sauvignon Blanc, from the Bennett Valley region of Sonoma County.
Tin Barn Vineyards is a collaborative effort of winemaker Michael Lancaster and his four partners, Kurt Chapman, Gray Fowler, Bud Johnson and Carl Stewart, whose dream to make wine came together in the "Tin Barn"!

'NOTES FROM THE BARN'
Tin Barn 2006 Sauvignon Blanc
89 Points - Wine Spectator!
“Fragrant juicy Golden Delicious apples, pear, nectarine and honey flavors are juicy and spicy, remaining persistent on the finish”. A small portion of the wine (30%) was barrel fermented to give the wine texture and mouthfeel, while still maintaining that crisp acidity we want in a Sauvignon Blanc."
UPCOMING EVENTS
HOLIDAY IN CARNEROS
Saturday November 22nd and Sunday November 23rd 10AM to 4PM
Tin Barn will be participating once again in this annual event. We will have 'The Missing Rib' smoking turkeys and we will be highlighting two new releases, our first Pinot Noir (2007) and our 2004 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Both wines are limited production (under 100 cases) and will only be offered direct to our consumers from the winery. As part of the 'Eighth Street Wineries' we will be one of number of wineries pouring at our location on Eighth Street East in Sonoma.
