From: California

Price: Way too much!

It’s a good thing that you only have to read this wine review and didn’t have to be witness to my raw emotional dislike for this farce of a wine like my wife did.  The profanity that left my mouth as I drank this $20 bottle of fake California Zin was not a pretty scene.  I had an incredible wine experience with the Michael and David Phillips Winery’s 2006 Earthquake Zinfandel, and gave it a raving review.  It was one of the best red wines that I’ve personally tasted this year.  

The question that I have for the Michael and David Phillips Winery is, “How do you go from a great tasting Zin at $25 bucks to an awful, fake tasting Zin at $20 bucks?”  The 2006 Earthquake Zin by the Michael and David Phillips Winery is awesome at around $25.  But at the $20 price point, this 7 Deadly Zins Zinfandel is nothing more than a $20 gag joke because of its labeling.

This Zin is fully “manufactured” and an utter disappointment.  It has that familiar “mad scientist in a lab” taste that I’ve become accustomed to tasting in so many California red wines this year.

If you enjoy your red wines tasting like Vanilla Cherry Coke then you might like this Zin.  For me, paying $20 and it not delivering anything close to its $25 2006 Earthquake Zin is a sin!

I give the 2007 7 Deadly Zins 1 Star. It’s just dreadful at $20 bucks a pop.
