Cabernet Sauvignon

Classic 5 dishes

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.

Amarone

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Veneto's heavyweight — dried grapes give wines of remarkable concentration, raisin, dark fig, and a faint bitter-chocolate finish. Sip with hard cheese; never with a salad.

Why it works with New York Strip Steak

Amarone's firm tannins balance New York Strip Steak's richness — the textbook structure-meets-protein match.

Merlot

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.

Why it works with New York Strip Steak

Merlot's gentle structure complements New York Strip Steak's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.

Red · Medium · 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.

Petit Syrah's gentle structure complements New York Strip Steak's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.

Red

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

A medium-bodied dry red in the European tradition — bright red fruit, soft tannins, and a savory finish. The everyday house wine of much of southern Europe.

Why it works with New York Strip Steak

Red's gentle structure complements New York Strip Steak's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.

Shiraz

Classic

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 New York Strip Steak

Cut through New York Strip Steak's fat with Shiraz's grippy tannins; this is the pairing every steakhouse leans on.

Italy's establishment-defying reds — Tuscan blends that broke the DOC rules, often featuring Cabernet or Merlot alongside Sangiovese. The reference for modern Italian ambition.
