Monique Sosa rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Yummy Cali Zin that's not just all jammy fruit. Smokey, black plums, blackberry, vanilla, 'new leather' and a little heat are my key notes. Luscious acidity on the palate, little to no tannins, med-full body and a smooth smokey-blackberry finish. I enjoy pairing Zins with Southern BBQ. Baby back ribs! Go for it!

Jane Staples rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This Old Vine Zin from Lodi, California has an exhilarating peppery nose. The palate shows delicious concentrated spicy ripe red berry flavours and vanilla. Long spicy red fruit finish.

Natalie's Review

Ironstone Old Vine Zinfandel 2013, Lodi, California, United States: Smoky great Californian red wine made from the state's classic Zinfandel grape, and offering lusciously ripe black and purple plum aromas. Please, tell me that campfire story again as the smoke swirls around my head and the stars above us on this mid-summer night. Perfect for grilled meats. Ironstone delivers extreme value in the glass at many price points. Pair this blockbuster red with BBQ chicken or ribs. Drink: 2013-2018. 951889 14.50% XD 750 mL $19.25 Score: 91/100.
