Red · Full · Dry
The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.
Why it works with Cold Roast Beef
Cabernet's tannic structure anchors beef's protein and fat.
Red · Full · Dry
Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.
Why it works with Cold Roast Beef
Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs cleanly with red meat.
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 Cold Roast Beef Sandwich
Shiraz's weight matches Cold Roast Beef Sandwich's heft; the tannins keep the palate clean between bites.
Red · Full · Dry
Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.
Why it works with Cold Roast Beef
Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.
