The name “Quinn the Eskimo” comes from an old Bob Dylan song that includes the line, “I like my sugar sweet.” With residual sugar of 14%, this is one of the sweetest white dessert wines out there. It is frankly delicious, oozing apricot honey, pineapple-infused crème brûlée and vanilla cream flavors.

This is a sweet, raw blend of Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Not going anywhere.

Soft and spicy, this high alcohol Syrah has flavors of baked or stewed blackberries and cherries, like the filling from a pastry tart. It’s pleasantly dry, with an anise, red licorice finish.

A wonderful wine, big and punchy in blackberry and cherry fruit and a hint of meat and herbs. Smooth, ripe tannins, complex and layered, with a long, rich finish.

Nice Zin, balanced and dry, with an easy, sillky mouth feel. Shows upfront spice, berry, cherry and coffee flavors. Notable for its harmony.

A delightful wine, and a pleasant discovery from the Foothills. Shows good structure and dryness and lovely Cabernet flavors, with black currants and cherry liqueur enhanced with smoky oak and cocoa. There’s even a touch of mountain briar and bramble.

Dark, tannic and dense, this is a classic Petite Sirah. In its youth it’s strongly flavored in black currants and chocolate, and will be fine with richly sauced barbecue. But it will age for many, many years, gradually softening.

Shows the jammy citrus and tropical fruit, honeysuckle flower, honey and spice flavors that Viognier-philes enjoy in this variety. Finishes sweet in vanilla cream richness.

Here’s a big, tough, tannic and dry wine, a classic example of a young Barbera that will live for decades. It will never be a great wine, but will soften and sweeten over many years, gradually yielding sweet dried fruit, flower and spice pleasantries.
