2007 Michael & David Vineyards "7 Deadly Zins" Lodi Zinfandel

Here's an interesting Zinfandel that you might want to check out.  Robert Parker gave it 90 points:  "The 2007 '7 Deadly Zins' is a knock-out bargain.  Aged completely in American oak, it is loaded with berry fruit, pepper, spice and earth characteristics.  This rich, full-bodied, opulent, luscious Zinfandel can be drunk now and over the next several years."  A very good wine showing plenty of oak in addition to its cherry, raspberry, earthy personality.  The list price is $14, but it is available from K&L at $11.99 a bottle, and you can probably find it cheaper if you search.
