devilcZinfandel ... my favoritest word to see on a Wine Bottle.
Color: Rich red violet
Sniff Test: "Razzleberries" and alcohol. Seriously, this wine smelled hot.
First Impression: Surprisingly not hot in the mouth. Silky smooth, but not as full bodied as I'd hoped for. Razzleberries up front become cranberryish and tannic in the middle and the back end is a little spice which turned into a slightly medicinal/gin aftertaste. :/
Breathing Room: Not much changed after 20 minutes of breathing. The wine went down easy, was polished and well balanced but not as interesting as past 7 Deadlies have been.
Verdict: 2007 was not the year for 7 Deadly that past vintages have been. By days 2-3 the gin aftertaste was gone, but the wine never got zing or pop.
Its sin is Sloth.
Episode: 3x01 "The Magnificent Seven" -- and it was oddly appropriate to drink a wine that commited one of the 7 deadly sins as Sam, Dean, and Bobby battled them.
Next up: 4x01 "Lazarus Rising" and 7 Heavenly Chards.
