Why it's a win: This full-bodied, deep ruby red Zinfandel is loaded with berry, pepper, and earthy characteristics. The tannins are tight, flavor concentration is good, and finishes strong and smooth. Aged in oak for 12 months, this Lodi Appellation Zin offers consistency and quality at a great price. Plus, the back of the label is excellent reading material.
So pour yourself a glass (or two) and raise a toast to gluttony, sloth, and lust.
Where you can find it: This is a popular Zin sold at most grocery stores, but Costco sells it cheapest.
Price: $11-$15
“I’m raging with ire, an ocean of fire,
My Wrath is the path to all I desire.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.
I’m inflated with pride, near-bursting inside,
A self-centered repenter, Vanitys’ bride.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.
I’m mired in mud, inert as a slug,
Sloth is the cloth that’s woven my rug.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.
I eat day and night, consuming all in my sight,
A Glutton with nothing but a huge appetite.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.
My will I ignore, my Envy’s a chore,
Over zealous and jealous, I want so much more.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.
I’m ravenous to feast, an insatiable beast,
I concede to the Greed demanding release.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.
I hunger for trust, my craving’s a must,
My sin is the Zin enslaving my Lust.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.”
