Vivacious Vino - Review of Ironstone Old Vine Zinfandel

Name: Ironstone Old Vine Zinfandel
Variety: 100% Zinfandel
Region: Lodi
Country: California
Year: 2011
Price: $15 (On sale for $7.95)
Alcohol Content: ??
With/Without Food: No food
Wine Review Grown in vineyards that are over 45 years old, this medium-bodied Zin has exceptional varietal character with lovely aromas of dark fruit and blackberry. Subtle pepper spice mingles with richly concentrated fruit flavors of blackberry, ripe plums and fresh red raspberries. Barrel aging created its smooth, silky finish and unprecedented depth. 


My Review: Smell: bubblegum, licorice, cinnamon, black pepper, blackberry, raspberry, overall like jam. Taste: yummy, a little oaky, dark fruits, and a slight citrus for some reason! Not my favorite Zin, but a nice tasting.
