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 Pork Filet Mignon
Cabernet's tannin grips red-meat protein and cuts through fat.
The original Bordeaux region — gravelly soils producing both Cabernet-led reds and serious Sauvignon-Semillon whites. The reds are leaner and more savory than the Médoc.

Graves and Pork Filet Mignon (tenderloin) With Onion Jam Or Jelly make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
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 Pork Filet Mignon
Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.
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 Pork Filet Mignon
Soft tannin and plum fruit suit filet mignon's tender bite.
Bordeaux's Left Bank — Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blends with structure, gravel, and the patience to age. The classic claret profile.

Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.
Why it works with Pork Filet Mignon
Pinot's silken texture flatters lean filet without overwhelming its delicacy.
Pouilly-Fuissé's quieter neighbor — riper, rounder Mâconnais Chardonnay at a fraction of the price. The everyday Burgundy.

Red · Full · 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.
Why it works with Pork Filet Mignon
Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.
France's most serious rosé — a single Rhône appellation devoted to dark, structured rosé from Grenache and friends. Bigger than Provence; nearly red. Pairs with grilled meat.
