Country-style defines this pale, easy wine, with its softness and earthiness. There’s modest cherry flavors, with undertones of pomegranate and rhubarb. Seems pricy for what you get.

A superrich, fantastically sweet wine. It’s clean and crisp with acidity, and wildly extravagant in orange, apricot, vanilla, butterscotch and white chocolate notes. California’s equivalent of a white Port, and a perfect pairing for cheesecake.

Years ago Rotta released a very fine wine from this rare variety they labeled Sherry, and this wine does have a sweet Amontillado, almost Oloroso taste. It’s deeply colored in copper and gold, with overtly sweet, honeyed flavors of pineapple brûlée and vanilla fudge. The alcohol weighs in at 19%.

Nice and dry, with a silky texture and pleasant blackberry, red currant, tobacco and spice flavors. This is a good price for a Cab of this quality.

At the age of five years, this Zin is losing its fruit, turning dry and brambly, and the raisins and prunes are showing through. It’s also pretty sharp and prickly. But it does have a certain rustic charm.

The variety is a table grape grown in California. The winery calls it Sherry, with the qualifier that the barrels were stored in the sun for two years. Not clear if it was invaded with flor, but the wine shows a crisp, Sherried cherry, vanilla and caramel character, sweet and succulent.

Shows all the marks of being grown in a hothouse, from the cooked, Port taste with its edge of raisins to the high alcohol. But it’s dry. You either like this style, or you don’t.

Sweet and crisp, but one-dimensional, with chocolate-covered cherry and cassis flavors that finish hot in alcohol.
