Riunite is very soft, sweet, and cheap too. If you're looking for something a little more "elegant" say with a cork you might want to go for a "port" or "cream sherry". Anything labeled a "dessert wine" will be just fine. I read the bottles in the wine aisle all the time. They'll tell you the characterisitics. Merlot is the sweetest of the basic red wines but it is not nearly as sweet as the Riunite or the Port. I rarely buy Port since I like tart wines so I can't really recommend a brand.
Do you have a local grocery store that has a wine guy? Sometimes they are there just one day a week. They can be really invaluable. They love to find you a wine just to your taste and in your price range. They don't even care if you don't want a cork and like bubbles! They just love to pair you, your food, and your wallet with the perfect bottle of wine.

Well, if you head into the desert wine section of the wine shop you'll find stuff that's really sweet. ICE/late harvest and other desert wines will be sweet. Also ports, banyuls, and many madieras will be intentionally sweet as well but they are fortified. For unfortified still sweet reds, look at some of stuff like lambrusco and some of the other stuff made form native (US) grapes: Nortons, etc.. There are also some white/blush wines made from red grapes that are typically left with some sweetness (white zinfandel, white merlot). Before you give up on dry reds, note that not all dry reds are cabernet. You might find some you like more if you go into the Pinot Noirs/Red Burgundy or the Beaujolais (as a matter of fact it is almost Beaujolias Noveau season (two more weeks) and you'll find that those are probably more to your liking even though they are not real sweet, they're not heavy or bitter.

we need some more info--is it to have with a meal,if so what type of food?or is it for dessert?-just for a drink anytime?=maybe a cheese platter?it's all relevant if you want to enjoy itOKAY TRY SANGIOVESE-brands are only important if you drink every day-if you buy cheap you get a cheaper tasteaim for $15/20 a bottle-one glass of good wine every now and then is better than cheap stuff-reseal immediately after pouring and keep uin the fridge after opening-it retains smell and flavour-technically you should drink it within 2/3 days-but a week is ok

Syrah.wine is very subjective, so getting an answer on line is pretty hard. the best thing to do is visit a nice wine store in your area and ask someone there to help you. they should be knowledgeable on the subject. tell them what price you are willing to pay first (wine gets very expensive) and then what tastes you enjoy. if you like the service you received from them then you know you back and start learning from the same person and you know what labels are availble in your area.
good luck

Definitely Beaujolais. And the new ones are coming out soon (aka Beaujolais Nouvaux). I don't care for it, but my friends who like sweet red wines do. Inexpensive, as well.

Try Livingston Vinyards Merlot or Red Rose, I don't like red wine but I like theirs, it doesn't leave a harsh or bitter taste in your mouth.

Try Reunite, it is a sweet wine.
