Lovers of inexpensive sweet white wines have lots to enjoy with this one. It’s sweet and fruity in pineapple, apricot, tangerine, vanilla and cinnamon spice flavors, balanced with crisp acids.

Novella 2003 Synergy Red (Paso Robles)
- $14
A blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Sangiovese, the ’03 Synergy is quite a nice wine. It’s dry and balanced. You notice the cut of acidity that makes the tastebuds whistle and get ready for food. Then the supporting cast of cherries and herbs steps in. Good food wine, fair price.
