Tastes like walnuts and macadamia nuts sautéed in creamy butter, then drizzled with sweet, opulent caramel. Has a beautiful, never-ending, prune-tinged finish.

Sweetness=7 out of 10 (dry to sweet). $30 Quite possibly the best Bonny Doon wine I’ve ever tasted, this deliciously balanced dessert wine melts on the tongue. Ripe peaches, apricots dripping in honey gush from this late-harvest Roussanne. 4.5 stars out of 5. Sweetness=7 out of 10 (dry to sweet). $30 Sugar, spice and everything nice, including Grandma’s lilac perfume. Smell the ripe peaches and apricots, then taste the pineapple.

Sweetness=5 out of 10 (dry to sweet). $9 The sweeter red brother of the White Lexia, complete with the lovely lilac smell.

Madeira, produced in a similar fashion to Port wine on a Portuguese-owned island in the Atlantic Ocean, used to be the rage about 200 years ago. It’s trying to make a comeback, and this is a fine example of a delicious effort. Rich, raisin-y with luscious dried plums and roasted nuts.
