Red · Full · Dry
The classical red blend — Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and friends — from southwest France. Black currant, cedar, tobacco; serious structure; rewards patience and decanting.
Why it works with Idiazabal
Bordeaux's structured tannins frame Idiazabal; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.
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 Idiazabal
Cabernet Sauvignon brings dark fruit and grip to Idiazabal — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.
Red · Medium · Dry
Tempranillo-based blend from northern Spain, traditionally oak-aged into something quietly profound. Cherry, dill, vanilla, leather; great with lamb, paella, and aged Manchego.
Why it works with Idiazabal
White Oaked Rioja's mid-weight flatters Idiazabal without taking over — the everyday red strategy.
