Lodi has become the self-proclaimed “Zin” capital of the World producing over 40% of California's Zinfandel grapes. The Kautz Family grows these Zinfandel grapes in the Mokelumne River sub-appellation of the Lodi AVA. The area is blessed with an alluvial fan of sandy loam, well-drained soils and a classic Mediterranean climate.

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.

Zinfandel wine has amazing versatility which makes it a wonderful wine pairing for variety of dishes. Any type of meat - whether its pork, beef or game - is ideal with this wine. Cioppino is another amazing complement or try it with tomato-based pastas, hearty stews or a plate of strong, aged cheeses.

Consistently excellent red wine

Rich but soft red wine, excellent with steak and casseroles but we also enjoy it with pasta and cheese.

Very enjoyable

Lively dark berry fruit upfront in the mouth and a good finish. Straightforward flavours without much complexity. Well worth the offer price but marginal at list depending on personal style preferences.

Lovely smooth wine

Brambles and blackberries, very smooth and luxuriant. Lovely length on the palate. 2018 was the one I had

Tasty

2018 ironstone zinfandel

Having drank this wine in the distant past, I'd remembered it as an outstanding wine from a top rated producer. I was not disappointed! A very heavy body with good grip and great length, ripe plums and black fruits on the nose together with toasty cedarwood. The palate with sweet rich fruits followed by smoky, slight peppery awesome balance of fruit and toasty cedarwood. I consider it outstanding at the price point of around £15, so to get it for £10 odd including postage is remarkable. Thanks N.D John.
