Ironstone Vineyards

The Ironstone Old Vine Zinfandel is medium bodied and pleasing on the palate; ripe berries, just this side of jamminess makes the wine a fine drinking red.

Expressive aromas of bright red berry fruits mixed with a light spice and a hint of tobacco lead to flavors of red cherry and raspberry with vanilla-oak undertones.

The Ironstone Merlot is a pleasant, soft red wine; easy on the palate; a crowd pleaser.

87 PTS WINEQUEST. Solid core of red tree fruits with a touch of oak and some ripe, fine tannins usually associated with more expensive Cabs. A superb value that over delivers.

85 PTS WILFRED WONG. Not complicated, just a good wine, the easy-to-like '05 Ironstone Chardonnay pulls no punches and doesn't get too fancy; it does provide fine accuracy of the varietal.
