To clarify the naming process of the wines it went as follows: We have 7 growers that stood out as producing our favorite zin grapes. 4 of them are my cousins, (I'm 6th generation to our family's vineyards so I have a hell of a lot cousins in Lodi) 2 are our next door neighbors (possibly cousins) and 1 is my dads best friend from high school (hopefully not a cousin). Remember Lodi is only 60,000 people, but we do have 80+ wineries now. So we wanted to bottle the grapes from these 7 vineyards into one wine that we were gong to call 7 Zins. But at the last minute Mike and Dave Philips (once Catholic school boys) decided to add "Deadly" to the equation. Taa Daa!! The name and label caught consumers attention, but our juice is what brings than back. 7 Deadly Zins is the number one Zinfindel of California. If you are looking for even more than the 7 Deadly, be sure to try out our Earthquke Zin (the vineyard was plated in 1906, the year of San Francisco earthquake) And if you want to have the best of the best try Lust (one of the 7 deadly sins) 80 year old vines and 2 years in french oak gives this wine an underlining elegance that I would never have thought possible for zinfandel. And to "Antonio" I'm not sure what you quite mean about our wine being blended. We add a small about of Petite Sirah to give some exta depth. And diluted?! You aren't going to find wines that are diluted when that have 16% alcohol. To Kevin- Edmeades is a great wine. I find myself drinking it often. Hytran- call the winery and they will help you find 7 Deadly in Chicago- it's definable there. Hi Tim,

I got the spicy flavor on the first swallow. A nice finish, and it's gonna go well with our pork tenderloin that is on the grill AS I TYPE.
