American Italian-style Red

Red · Medium · Dry

American Merlot

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

California Merlot, when made well — plummy, supple, with a touch of cocoa and earlier drinkability than its Bordeaux cousins. The unfairly maligned dinner-party red.

Why it works with Blackened Steak Salad

American Merlot gives Blackened Steak Salad a savory partner — cherry, leather, and a touch of acid.

American Zinfandel

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

California's signature red — jammy, brambly, often 15% alcohol, with notes of blackberry, black pepper, and dried herb. Built for ribs and brisket.

Why it works with Blackened Steak Salad

Lighter than a Cabernet, American Zinfandel still has the weight to match Blackened Steak Salad's body.

Australian Shiraz

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Australia's signature red — dense, spice-driven, peppery, often pushing 15% alcohol. Barossa makes it brawniest; McLaren Vale, smokier; Hunter, leaner. Built for the grill.
