If you’re a zin junkie, you probably already know about Lodi. If you’re just getting into Zinfandel, make a note of it and try several from this region.
7 Deadly Zins is made with grapes from seven of the best growers in the Lodi region. That’s where the name comes from and the fact that the grapes came from seven growers and it’s a fun and memorable pun. The zinfandel is blended with a little bit of petite sirah and petite verdot.
The color of this wine is a very dark purplish-red. The nose has outstanding intensity and complexity, with an aroma that’s like blackberry cobbler (and I love blackberry cobbler). It has some peppery notes that follow the lucious blackberry. The palate is brimming with spiced blackberry and cherry flavors. Dark chocolate and cinnamon come in on the mid-palate and stay through the finish, which also reveals a spicy pepper note. The acidity is great, the mouth feel is nice and the finish is long. This is a really nice zinfandel. If you have finiky wine drinking friends, which I do they will love this wine! I try to keep a bottle on hand for company that does not share my love of 'dry'
