Answered by Vince Keith

The 7 Deadly Zins Old Vine Zinfandel is a delightful and bold that is sure to please any lover. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of tasting and experiencing this wine firsthand. The grapes used in the making of this wine are primarily Zinfandel, which is known for its rich and jammy flavors.

Zinfandel is a versatile grape that can be grown in a variety of climates, but it truly shines in California's warm and sunny climate. The 7 Deadly Zins Old Vine Zinfandel is made from grapes sourced from old vineyards, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. These old vines have deeper root systems, which allow them to extract more nutrients and flavors from the soil, resulting in a more concentrated and intense wine.

The wine opens with an abundance of jammy berry fruit flavors, which are a hallmark of Zinfandel. The berries are ripe and luscious, bursting with sweetness and juiciness. There is a wonderful balance between the fruit flavors and the wine's acidity, which keeps it from becoming overly sweet.

As the wine unfolds on the palate, aromas of leather, oak, and spice notes become apparent. These additional layers of complexity add depth and interest to the wine, making it a truly seductive experience. The oak aging also imparts a subtle vanilla and toffee flavor, which adds a touch of sweetness to the wine.

The finish of the 7 Deadly Zins Old Vine Zinfandel is long and lingering, with a touch of spice that keeps you coming back for more. The dark fruit flavors, currants, and toffee notes continue to dance on the palate, leaving a lasting impression.

The 7 Deadly Zins Old Vine Zinfandel is a full-bodied and indulgent wine that showcases the best of what Zinfandel has to offer. It is a wine that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods, from grilled meats to hearty pastas. Its bold flavors and seductive nature make it a true delight for any wine enthusiast.
