Matt Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Richly flavoured smoky dark berry with vanilla and spice in this uber value priced California Cabernet Sauvignon. A great wine for hosting throughout the year, whether it's summer BBQ or winter chili cook-offs, this wine will be enjoyed by those that like big smoky reds. Tasted January 2017. 90 points.
Wineboy rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Wow !! A whack of very charred oak dominates this wine from start to finish. Unsure if I would ever make a wine with this much oak, but for those who love this style - enjoy.




Natalie's Review

Ironstone Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Lodi, California, United States: A richly concentrated California Cabernet with ripe dark fruit and balanced toasty oak. Supple, smooth and full-bodied. Mocha and dark chocolate on the finish. Perfect with a juicy steak this evening. This California red wine has a respectable quality-price-ratio. Pair with barbecued meats.

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.
