Red · Medium · Dry

Shorthand for Cabernet Sauvignon — full-bodied, structured red wine with notes of black currant, graphite, and cedar. The classic steakhouse choice.

Why it works with Tbonesteak

Cabernet Sauviginon's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Tbonesteak.

Red · Medium · 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 T-bone

A mid-weight Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon flatters T-bone without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.

Malbec

Classic

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 Grilled Tbone Steaks

Argentine Malbec was bred for steak — supple tannin, dark plum fruit, no shyness.

Syrah

Classic

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 Grilled Tbone Steaks

Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.

The muscular center of the Médoc — three of the five First Growths and the densest, most age-worthy Bordeaux. Cassis, graphite, cedar; built for decades of cellaring.

Why it works with T-bone

Young pauillac and T-bone make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
