Ironstone is located in the Sierra Foothills, they market themselves more for their winery than the wine and after tasting through them again I can see why. Ironstone was known for relatively good value wines back in the day... Obession and Xpression are the two best selling wines they produce .. a little on the sweeter side
Ironstone Reserve Chardonnay 2008...lots of glycerin and oak... tropical fruit. over the top so
Ironstone Old Vine Zin 2008 bing cherry and lots of it. one dimensional fruit... was hoping for more from a old vine property...
Ironstone Reserve Old Vine Zinfandel 2007 missing some depth and flavors... bright fruit but nothing behind it... again expecting more from the vintage and old vine
Christinee Andrew Petite Sirah Lodi 2007 dark color, aromas that remind one of bandaids.. which is not unusual but you would want something else behind it.
Christine Andrew Malbec Lodi 2007 bright fruit... kind of fun but nothing after the first flavors... a little heat too which is not completely unexpected with the appellation
Oak Ridge Winery Cabernet Lodi 2006 pretty purple color, bright fruit, interesting coffee on the finish... easy drinking
Oak Ridge OZV Lodi Zinfandel 2005 Old Zin Vines...garnet and nice fruit...not overly exciting though... dark berry fruits on the finish but quick finish....
