Wine name: Signature Series Zinfandel Shiraz.
Producer: Ironstone Vineyards, Murphys, California.
Vintage: 2003.
Purchased from village wines, Bexley.
Appearance dark purple, thick and viscous on the glass with black cherries, and loads of them! The attack is smooth & silky, with good strength. Evolution: An unexpected sharpness, warmth and spiciness, with black cherry skins with a finish which is warm black cherries in nose, sharp and acidic (in a good way) on swallow. Sweetness: 1. Acidity: 3.5. Tannin: 0.5 with a texture which is thick water and the length is excellent. As for balance, it's a little over-acidic, but nicely rich to balance. The wine has a synthetic closure and is 15% abv. Overall, this wine went really well with a greasy steak, orange-glazed carrots and fried potatoes, a little sharp on its own, but very nice nonetheless. One to buy again! My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 87 points. www.ironstonevineyards.com
