HondaJohn's Review:

Loved this wine from the first time I tried it. A value when compared to other 'signature' Napa Cabs. Mix of red and dark fruit with good oak layer with balance. Wish I could afford more to see how it ages.

HondaJohn's Review:

Great value in Napa Cabs. Lots of dark fruit in nose and taste balanced with tannins and acid.

HondaJohn's Review:

For me, this is a standard of white blends in Napa. Great balance of acid, fruit and alcohol. Love this wine for tart grassy, citrus flavors and medium long finish.

HondaJohn's Review:

My favorite wine from my tasting at Tin Barn. Very Sonoma cab with herbs, smoke and cedar in the nose. Great tannin structure, smoky with some chewiness. great balance of dark fruit, herbs with acid. loves it.

HondaJohn's Review:

Nice bordeaux blend from Napa created by a Sonoma producer. Great earthy and cedar like aromas. Can taste the merlot component. Silky and smooth with good balance.

HondaJohn's Review:

I work for Syrah producer so I'm very picky on Syrahs but this one is great. Smokey with red fruit. Good meatiness to the wine with pepper, tannin and acid. Well balanced and nice finish.

HondaJohn's Review:

My least favourite of the Tin Barn wines but still very solid. Lots of red/black fruit on the nose with lots of raspberry and cherry on the palate. Surprising amount of tannin. Balances high alcohol well.

HondaJohn's Review:

Great example of what good Carneros Pinot should be. Light and dusty nose with rose petals and some strawberry. Good acid, soft and velvety but needs some time to open up.

HondaJohn's Review:

Solid Sauv Blanc. Bright and refreshing. Lots of citrus in the nose with some lemon and grassy notes. Tart flavors balanced with good acid with lingering finish.

HondaJohn's Review:

Bright and fresh with underlying complexity. One of my favourites.
