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.

Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.

Malbec

Classic

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 Grilled Veal Tongue

Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.

Syrah

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Why it works with Grilled Veal Tongue

Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.

An Australian crossing — light-bodied red built for early drinking. Cherry, soft tannins, low alcohol. The Aussie answer to Beaujolais Nouveau.

Zinfandel

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Grilled Veal Tongue

Jammy Zin lifts BBQ-style and bigger-flavored preparations.
