Wine Tasting:
2005 Ironstone Riesling
Winery: Ironstone Vineyards
Brand/Type: Riesling
Vintage: 2005
Country: Germany/California
Region: Pfalz
Alcohol content: 11%
Closure: Screw cap
Appearance: Pale straw
Aroma/Bouquet: Rubbing alcohol and Pine-sol
Tastes very tart at first then leaves a bitter lemony aftertaste. No real flavors other than lemon. Nothing that to remind you of a Riesling what so ever. This tastes more like solvent than wine.
The Ironstone Vineyards website doesn’t list this wine at all. I have to assume it is because they are ashamed to have ever put their label on such crap, their site doesn’t list any Rieslings what so ever. So what gives? Was this some cheap excuse to import some rotgut and throw your label on it, make a quick buck, and charge a far more that reasonable amount for something that should have been turned into compost?
Ironstone owes everyone who ever was assaulted by this crap a refund and an apology.
