7 Deadly Zins

Produced by Michael David Winery, 7 Deadly Zins is a serious wine with a quirky name.

Though it's sure to draw attention, the name is not just a marketing gimmick: The grapes are sourced from seven different growers in California's Lodi region.

This big, bold Zinfandel is spicy with lots of jammy fruit. The ruby/purple wine serves up aromatic and flavor notes of berry jam, tomato, cola and pepper. It pairs well with chile, pizza and barbecue.

7 Deadly Zins is aged for 12 months in both French and American oak barrels.

This wine retails for approx. $15.

Bottom Line: Thumbs up.
