Ironstone Vineyards
Lodi Merlot
Lodi, Central Valley, California, USA
This is a very dark wine, showing a nose of black fruit, smoke, forest floor, tobacco and vanilla. They say it aged in oak for only three months, but that’s hard for me to believe. The palate is juicy and ripe, with oak spice aplenty. The tannins are firm, but not toothy. It’s an affordable choice to pair with turkey and ham over the holidays.

Delicious wine. Perfectly paired with Neapolitan style pizza. And then I had to go lie down.
