The Wine: 2008 7 Deadly Zins
The Price: $11.99 at Safeway
I've been wanting to review this wine for quite some time, partly because I can sometimes be a sucker for a clever name, but more because I really enjoy Michael-David's Petite Petit. 7 Deadly Zins is so named because the wine is a blend of grapes from seven different Lodi (California) vineyards.
The bottle was stopped with a natural cork and decanted slightly more than an hour before tasting.
The wine very dark purple. It has aromas of plum, blackberry and blueberry. It has a bit of a bite to it, owing to it's 15% alcohol content. Once you get past that, it's a very delicious wine. It has very robust flavors of cherry, cinnamon, blueberry and raspberry, wrapped in a blanket of black pepper. Despite the peppery bite, the wine has a very velvety smoothness to it.
This is another great wine from Michael-David!
