Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Darlene Myers rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

The old vine Zinfandel's are my go-to wines. And I loved the Seven Deadly Zins. Getting the name from selecting Zinfandel grapes from 7 different vineyards, this is a sinfully good Zin. Vibrant ruby color in the glass and big juicy fruits on the palate. Nice balance, terrific wine.
Dan Trcka rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The 2010 - 7 Deadly Zins Old Vine Zinfandel, blended with undisclosed amounts of Petite Sirah, has intense aromas of stewed dates, prune, blackberry, smoked meat, vanilla and toasted wood. It is a full bodied, off-dry, fruity to integrated wine, with good acidity, refined tannins and a long and smooth finish. Drink with red meats or sip on its own; drink now and for the next 5+ years. My impression: BEAUTIFUL, 90-91 pts – recommended for its quality. Tasted at Churchill Cellars Portfolio tasting May/13.
