Natalie's Score: 91/100

From Calaveras County, Sierra Foothills in California, Ironstone Reserve 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from estate grown grapes. This is a rich and powerful Cab with firm, structured tannins showing equally rich and ripe blueberry, blackberry, black plum, toasty oak spice, dark chocolate and espresso coffee aromas and flavours concentrated, layered and vibrant on the palate. A bold wine to hold to 2024 or decant it for an hour (or two) and enjoy it paired with BBQ beef long ribs from the grill.

Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: rich game stews, veal Porterhouse, roast goose.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
