2006 “Obsession” Symphony

Natalie MacLean, Nat Decants, 4/22/08                     90 POINTS ~ Best Value White Wine

“Here's a sampling of the top 4 wines out of the 42 that I recommend for April 26 so that you can see how I do the reviews: The latest vintage of Ironstone's popular Obsession is as fragrant as ever, soft and round with a touch of sweetness. My note: One of my favorites year after year. An exotic wine with aromas of rose petals, lychee and lime. Pair with: spicy Asian dishes.”

The Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne , IN , by Dan and Krista Stockman, 4/13/08

“This is a wine we discovered a couple years ago…and when you taste it, you’ll understand why Ironstone calls this wine Obsession: It has lots of mineral flavors and mouthwatering acids and is one of the most unique white wines you'll ever find for under $10.”

Life & Times, New Brunswick , Nova Scotia , 2/4/08 , “Take home a bottle for under $ 20” by Robert Noel

“An exotic and tasty wine to try with spicy dishes like curry.”

Clarion-Ledger, Jacksonville , MS , Steven Austin Special, 1/30/08      “I love this wine with its floral notes.”
