Description

7 Deadly Zins is a legendary Old Vine Zinfandel from the acclaimed Michael David Winery in the Lodi appellation of California. Born from a clever play on the 'seven deadly sins'—inspired by the Phillips brothers' Catholic school upbringing—this wine is a hedonistically seductive blend. It is crafted from a selection of Lodi's finest old vine Zinfandel vineyards, which are certified sustainable, ensuring a deep commitment to both quality and the land. In the glass, you are met with a rich, dark ruby hue that hints at the intensity within. The nose is immediately captivating, offering a sophisticated bouquet of dark berry fruit, supple leather, toasted oak, and warming spice notes. On the palate, this wine is famously full-bodied and round. It delivers an indulgent explosion of jammy dark fruits, layered with nuances of creamy vanilla and rich toffee. Despite its robust 15% alcohol, it maintains a remarkably smooth mouthfeel, leading to a long, lingering, and spice-touched finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. This Zinfandel is the perfect companion for hearty, flavorful dishes. Its bold profile makes it a stellar match for grilled steaks, smoked meats, rich pasta dishes, or even a spicy barbecue feast. It is also a fantastic bottle to open when gathering with friends who appreciate a bold, expressive, and fun wine with a story behind every pour. Whether you are a long-time Zinfandel lover or new to the variety, 7 Deadly Zins offers an approachable, high-quality experience that highlights why Lodi is considered the premier region for this classic American grape.
