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 Polenta With Sausage

Merlot's gentle structure complements Polenta With Sausage'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 Polenta With Sausage

Shiraz's weight matches Polenta With Sausage's heft; the tannins keep the palate clean between bites.
