I've not seen anything like this in California except California cream
sherry and port. I searched the internet and found this, with blackberry,
raspberry, and other berry wines.

It's somewhat difficult to call these wines. I'd sure try what you're going
to use first. All of these are fortified wines, or with added alcohol. I
don't think we have any grapes in CA that have a high enough sugar content
to ferment to 11-12% alcohol and still leave enough residual sugar to be
called a sweet wine. You might see if you can find Charles Krug cream
sherry, which really isn't red. The other would be a non vintage California
port. Those are nice, but assertive. I'm not familiar with the "black
muscat" sweet wine.

Good Luck,

Kent

There is at least one red ice wine produced in Niagara. Peller
Estates makes a Cabernet Franc

Not sure where you at, Storm, but a big fave in CA is dessert
zinfandels. Zin is, by nature, a sweet grape, so huge wines of
14.5-16.5 abv are not uncommon. Makes for a great dessert wine when
fermented for that purpose. Usually pretty pricey for small bottle.
Probably hard to find outside CA, as that state is ground zero for
zin growers and bleary-eyed zin zealots.

Are you serving it alone or with a dessert? I'm not sure what your
purpose is, but here's a list.

Everything here is good and very sweet. You need to buy a lot to make
shipping reasonable.

That's not red and it's not particularly sweet.

You're absolutely right nb! Late Harvest Zin is like a red ice wine,
IMO. It's a beautiful and highly satisfying dessert wine... not
cheap, but not expensive. Expect to pay high $twenties to low
$thirties for a bottle that looks like a split. Maybe a little more
because my last experience was a few years ago.

does it come in red though? that is the key, while price is a factor, sweet

thanks,

usually alone, a df has been told by her qwak that a glass of wine each
evening is acceptable and probably reccommended in her case, but he prefefrs
her to have red over white, and she prefers sweet so i thought if i could
come up with something that tasted nice i could get her something to get
started it would be a nice gift... i will of course have to test drive
anything i give her, lol, Lee

Many California vineyards make varietal dessert wines, such as cab
franc. Savannah Chanel is one that immediately comes to mind.

I have never seen a red trockenbeerenauslese or beerenauslese, which
are the finest dessert wines made.

Eisweins from Ontario come in both sparkling and red varieties. I
would particularly recommend the Inniskillin cabernet franc Eiswein.

Some CA vineyards, like Ridge, release bottles made from late harvest
grapes of numerous varietals, but these do not approach the sweetness
levels of a dessert wine.

Hardy's, from Australia, makes a sparkling shiraz that is excellent,
but it too may bot be as sweet as you want. It is an excellent food
wine with dishes like rack of lamb and a wine reduction sauce.

A sweet madera could be considered. They're much more delicate.

I had a half bottle of red zin in that style many years ago. If I could
remember the winery and vintage I'd suggest it. But I understand that
it was a small run and it was quite expensive even then.

Nobody's mentioned port, which would be the classic sweet red wine.

Japanese plum wine is more brown than red, but it can also be quite
nice.

Under that circumstance I think port would be the best bet, as it's
reliably available.
