| Verdict | A dry, savory Syrah with firm tannin, bright acidity and a persistent herbal finish. Lighter than conventional Syrah, but distinctly wine-like rather than sw… | Dealcoholized sparkling Muscat from France. White flowers, pear, and stone fruit, with sweetness the bead keeps from going heavy. |

| Likeness | Recognizably red wine in its acidity, tannin and herbal character; lighter in body than a conventional Syrah. | Convincingly Muscat: varietal florals, orchard fruit, and sparkling structure. Sweeter and rounder than a dry sparkler. |
