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 Spring Lamb Roast

Cab handles lamb's gaminess with tannic grip and dark fruit.

Grenache

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

The grape that puts the warmth in southern French reds — strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, and a finish that's all sun and stones. The backbone of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rosé from Provence.

Why it works with Spring Lamb Roast

Grenache's warm fruit echoes lamb's natural sweetness, especially in Mediterranean preparations.

Rioja

Classic

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 Spring Lamb Roast

Aged Rioja is the Iberian lamb pairing — cedar, leather, and bright acid.

Loire Cabernet Franc grown on warmer limestone soils — fruitier, more accessible, with red cherry and a touch of green pepper. Always food-friendly.

Why it works with Spring Lamb

Saumur-Champigny and Spring Lamb make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
