Sanchez Romate NV Cardenal Cisneros Reservas Pedro Ximénez (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $15
This reserve-level P.X. sets the gold standard for excellence in sweet sherry. The lovely bouquet straddles the line between unadulterated sweetness and impeccable slyness. The flavors of fig, chocolate, caramel, browned butter and cinnamon are amazing. So chewy and thick, but balanced by firm acids. Brilliant.

Sanchez Romate NV Iberia Cream Sherry (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $15
It’s rare that a sweet sherry reaches such heights, but here’s a case in point. Iberia has impeccable prune and raisin aromas along with intoxicating scents of toffee and cane sugar. All in all, the bouquet is excellent. The palate, meanwhile, is seamless as it deals raisin, vanilla and mocha. Spot on for a dessert elixir, with a ceaseless finish.

Sanchez Romate NV Don José Oloroso Sherry (Jerez)
- $17
Nutty and intense, like peanut brittle reduced to liquid form—but with less than half the corn syrup. It delivers beautiful texture and intensity; it’s almost fruity, but then mushroom, almond and macadamia nut take over. With perfect weight and a finish that doesn’t quit, this is a great dry Sherry. Imported by Shaw-Ross International Importers.

Sanchez Romate NV NPU Amontillado Sherry (Jerez)
- $17
Pure and nutty, with aromas of dried apricot and sea air. In the mouth you get lots of almond and butter, while the A-rate finish is buttery but also quite complex. A classic, refined wine that dances across your tongue like a ballerina. Imported by Shaw-Ross International Importers.

Sanchez Romate NV Fino Marismeno Reservas Sherry (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Quite yellow, with toffee, peanuts and light fruit aromas. Big and round in the mouth, with dried apple, almond and white pepper flavors. Full and long late, with tons of texture and a strong mushroom accent. Powerful, so you'd better be a fino fan if you're going to tackle this one.

Sanchez Romate NV Imported Cream Sherry (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $7
Lively prune and raisin aromas are nice, even if a bit of alcohol mars the nose. Flavors of caramel and vanilla satisfy, while the sugary finish is borderline cloying but manages to hold the line. Very nice and just right for sweet-toothed sherry novices.

Sanchez Romate NV Romate Medium Dry Amontillado Sherry (Jerez)
- Best Buy
- $7
Perfectly drinkable but not that exciting. This is everyday Sherry, the type of wine you’d get in a bar in Jerez. It’s mildly sweet, with adequate nuttiness. Not much flash or sizzle, however.
