Why we're drinking this
It’s cold outside and a big wine just makes sense. 7 Deadly Zins is full and rich, just what we want this time of the year. It is turbo-charged to 14.5% — which can be a little much under normal circumstances but makes sense during this busy and hectic Holiday season. There are a lot of fruit and structure here to keep things in balance. It is about authenticity, and this is simply good stuff.

Tasting note
It is rich, pretty on the nose with cherry, blackberries, oak spice, and vanilla. A lot of complexity for the price! A very dry wine, but generous with fruit and spice.There is a nice dusty, leafy quality that most red wine-lovers are enamored with. Packed with fruit and nice texture, it’s a real good sipper. The tannins are present but smooth, with just enough heft to take on a cheesy or fatty dish, or even a big steak. We enjoy it best with easygoing foods like pizza, pasta, charcuterie, etc.
