Roast Leg Of Lamb With Rosemary And Garlic

Red · Medium · Dry

California and Oregon's answer to Burgundy — riper, more upfront fruit than the French original, with cherry, raspberry, and gentle oak. Sonoma and Willamette set the standard.

Red · Medium · Dry

Piedmont's everyday red and Italy's secret food wine — high acid, low tannins, juicy red cherry, and a touch of earth. Pairs effortlessly with anything red-sauce.

Red · Medium · Dry

The colloquial shorthand for Brunello di Montalcino — pure Sangiovese, five years of aging, decades of ageability. Tuscany at its most ambitious.

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.

Bordeaux's Right Bank jewel — Merlot-dominated blends on iron-rich clay, producing wines of plush richness and remarkable longevity. The reference for elegant Merlot.

An uncatalogued varietal or single-vineyard wine. Taste before pairing: assess color, weight, and any obvious sweetness, then plate accordingly.
