Soft, simple and rather sweet, like a chewy candy bar of cherries, currants, cocoa and crunchy granola. High alcohol makes it a little hot and unbalanced, but it will stand up well beside a fabulous cheeseburger.

Made in the slightly sweet, crisp style that’s made this variety so popular in America, the wine has the flavors of pineapple juice, mixed with pears, limes and peaches.

The alcohol level is nice and low, but at the cost of sweetness. This isn’t anywhere close to a dry table wine, it’s a dessert wine, with sugary- sweet pineapple, orange and vanilla flavors.

Don’t expect dryness here. The wine is distinctly sugary-sweet and that’s despite a ridiculously high alcohol level of 16.5%. But people who like sweet red wines, and there are lots of them, will slurp it up.

Brawny and fruity, this is a Zinfandel to drink with burgers and pizza. It’s a strong, hot, spicy wine, with peppery flavors and dry tannins. Think of it as California-style Chianti.

Hot and clumsy. Shows sweet, jammy cherry and pepper flavors, with a harsh bite of alcohol and green tannins.

Simple, sweet, soft and hot in alcohol. That basically describes this Syrah. It has ripe flavors of blackberry and cherry jam.

Rustic and sweet as jam you spread on toast, this Zin shows cherry, black raspberry and pepper flavors, wrapped into edgy, slightly green tannins. Robust and briary. Drink now.

Soft and lush in the mouth, this Syrah has slightly sweet flavors of blackberries, chocolate, bacon, pepper and smoky oak. It’s an easy, gentle wine for barbecue.
