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.
