Pineapple, sulfur and matchstick, and finally some woody toast steer the bouquet. The palate is big and blowsy, with toasty baked apple and pineapple flavors. Finishes sweet, with honey and a sprinkl…

Sweet and baked smelling, with foxy core aromas that suggest wet dog fur. The palate is loud and wild, with foxy, unsettled flavors of wild berry and cherry. Runs low on layering, structure and body,…

Slightly sharp, reedy and also sweet smelling, with cotton candy, vanilla and caramel aromas. The palate ranks as dry, simple and a bit dilute, with soft, light, buttery flavors and shy, airy red-fru…

This is a typical sweet rosé from Anjou. A light and fruity blend of Groslot and Gamay, it is sugary but has attractive acidity to balance the sweet wild-strawberry flavors. Drink now.

This wine feels full and heavy on the palate. It's sweet and fruity, with an edge of grapefruit zest.

Not sure if this is a sparkling wine, a dessert wine or something in between. Grassy aromas of apple juice are jumbled and slightly pickled. This stays unfocused on a fizzy palate, while sweet soda-l…

This wine is dark, sweet and slightly effervescent in texture. It has an inky color, aromas like Concord-grape juice and roses, and jammy flavors.

Finely balanced, simple Sauternes with light apricot and honey flavors. With just a touch of botrytis dryness, the aftertaste is more sweet.

Grown in the Happy Canyon section of eastern Santa Ynez, an area that one of these days will be an official appellation. It's warm back in that canyon, and this Sangiovese is sugary in sweet berries…

Even at six-plus years, and despite its origin in superstar grower's Beckstoffer's vineyards, this Cab has an imbalanced sweetness. The sugariness of the blackberry flavors accentuates the tannins, m…

Crisp acidity comes to the rescue of this slightly sweet wine, giving it a bracing mouthfeel that balances the sugary pineapple, peach, apricot and honeysuckle flavors.

From a vineyard called Sweetwater, this Riesling itself is sweet in peach, pineapple and wildflower honey flavors. Brisk Monterey acidity balances, with a tart, prickly mouthfeel.

Yeasty, candied aromas rest in front of a foamy palate that lacks polish. This tastes like 7-Up and fresh grass, with sweet, yeasty, green-herb flavors that dissipate quickly on the finish.

Simple cherry aromas with notes of cinnamon and chlorinated pool open this light-colored but blocky Pinot Noir. It tastes salty and sweet, with generic plum and red-fruit flavors. Very little flavor…

A beautiful nose full of classic garrigue-infused herbaceousness is supported by notes of raspberry-sage preserves and sweet spiced baked fruit. The mouth lacks a certain vibrancy, though, with a lig…

Grilled beef, slathered in BBQ sauce, will soften and sweeten this hearty red from the Sierra Foothills. By itself, it's tannic and hard-edged. Shows rich flavors of black currants, cassis, raisins a…

A little harsh in mouthfeel, with some minty green notes that give it the flavor of sweet-and-sour cherry and currant sauce. Needs a cheeseburger to tame it.

Soft and honey-sweet, this Syrah-based southern Rhône blend offers easy flavors of cherry and raspberry jam, vanilla, white chocolate and pepper.

Strong aromatics introduce an oily-textured wine, very typical of this grape. The flavors are of bergamot, superripe lychee and sweet spice. This is definitely exotic.

Boasts pristine if somewhat one-dimensional fruit aromas of green apples and limes and the flavors follow a similar pattern. It's sweet yet tart, showing decent balance in a lemonade-like way. A lawn…
