Their big seller is the White Zinfandel, originally created in the 1970s but they make many more popular wines because the taste is pleasing and the price is on the low side. Compared to many other wines in the same price range, these will likely taste better especially to a person new to drinking wine. One reason for this is their ability to make good sweet wines like the Moscato and now the Sweet Red Wine.

They found Americans unaccustomed to wine generally favor drinking wine on the sweet side rather than the dry (not sweet) side. The White Zinfandel was the first to tap into that preference in a big way. Their new blend, Sweet Red Wine, is made with a combination of three grape varieties: Merlot, Zinfandel and Moscato. This is a sweet wine you can enjoy with your dinner or just as suitable without food.
