I think I could love a Zinfandel, but I don't like to taste oak, which to me tastes like a headache in the making. The search for a less-oaky Zin led me to Lodi Vineyards 7 Deadly Zins. Left to my own devices, I wouldn't have selected it because the label and name makes it seem like it is trying too hard to be cool, but that might be just me.
The scent: fiery, boozy and rich.
Then the first taste: LOTS of peppery and fruity flavor all at once. Once it mellows, it tastes meaty and fruity. There is a little bit of tannic puckeriness at first, which then subsides.
Could taste good with: chocolate or Mexican food like mole enchiladas
The price: $11.99 at my local liquor store.
If it was a person it would be a: Jock in a Misfits t-shirt.
