What's a 'jammy' wine?

Can anyone suggest a particular bottle, which exemplifies this character?

Um, one with flavors that remind you of jam? :)
Typically used for red wines with very sweet fruit profiles (especially cooked berry) and low acidity.
Lots of examples, popular/easily available wines might include The Prisoner or Apothic

Sounds like all the sweet wines I ever tried, i.e. ick

Are any of them drinkable?

Though in some reviews, I've seen 'jammy' used as praise -

It really depends what you like. I find jammy wines to be undrinkable.
They are usually just way too gloppy for me to enjoy them but I have
friends who love these and I buy them just to serve them only sipping a
bit of them.
