Red · Medium · Dry

American Pinot Noir's mid-weight flatters Herbed Rib Roast without taking over — the everyday red strategy.

Red · Full · Dry

Malbec

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Sauternes

Classic

Dessert · Full · Sweet

Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.

Sauternes is the dessert wine — honey, apricot, and acid with custards, fruit, and crème brûlée.

Syrah

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Zinfandel

Interesting
