Pacificana
Lodi Zinfandel
Lodi, Central Valley, California, USA
This might be one of the worst wines I've ever had. I'm not going to finish this bottle and I'm seriously considering canceling my Club W subscription because of it. It's sickenly sweet and has none of the wonderful qualities of a true Zinfandel.

I drank this bottle in July of 2015, so we can assume 3 years of age on the bottle, possibly more or less, and I thought this wine had really smooth, generous flavor, with impressive complexity. Lots of spice and sweet berry flavor, but this wine is dry. The second I took a sip, I remarked that it would be an absolutely perfect Christmas wine. It has the rich fruit, spice, and body that you look for in a boozy, comforting, sitting-by-the-fire in a sweater wine. I still enjoyed it as my nighttime wine, but it would be fabulous during the holidays at a family gathering.
