A sinful blend indeed! Our flagship Zinfandel
was the devise of the two Phillips brothers in their
search for a blended Zin so captivating that no one
could refuse. With consistency in mind, the brothers
decided to blend the fruit of Lodi’s finest growers to
fill the bottles of Michael~David’s new-fangled wine.
In the end, Seven vineyards were chosen for their
superiority. Now, how do you label a wine so unique in
style? Looking to their past, the two Phillips brothers
quickly related the Seven Sins from their Catholic
school upbringing to the seven Old Vine Zinfandels
blended in their wine.

Notes of sweet plums and pepper dominate the nose
while flavors of blueberry, raspberry, cinnamon, and
black pepper pack the palate from start to finish. The
silky-smooth tannins hold the wine together and
deliver a soft, fruit-driven experience.
