Cabernet Sauvignon

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Merlot

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Shiraz

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.

Why it works with Beef And Bearnaise Sauce

Shiraz's flesh — tannin, oak, and dark fruit framing the meat's richness.
