Tin Barn 2005 Zinfandel Gilsson Vineyard
Sonoma’s hills are full of old zin vineyards. This full-bore example has a fascinating nose of brambleberry, Black Forest cake and leather. It’s smooth, powerful and hot on the finish (15.5 per cent alcohol), but the fruit powers through to outstanding length. Buy 12‑bottle cases at robgroh.com.
