Red · Medium · Dry

California Merlot, when made well — plummy, supple, with a touch of cocoa and earlier drinkability than its Bordeaux cousins. The unfairly maligned dinner-party red.

Why it works with Beef Rolls With Parmesan, Pine Nuts, Olives, And Capers

A mid-weight American Merlot flatters Beef Rolls With Parmesan, Pine Nuts, Olives, And Capers without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.

Red · Medium · Dry

Tuscany's most serious wine — pure Sangiovese aged at least five years before release. Cherry, leather, tobacco, dried herb; immensely structured, immensely age-worthy.

Why it works with Beef Rolls With Parmesan, Pine Nuts, Olives, And Capers

Lighter than a Cabernet, Brunello Di Montalcino still has the weight to match Beef Rolls With Parmesan, Pine Nuts, Olives, And Capers's body.

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 Beef And Capers

Cabernet's tannic structure anchors beef's protein and fat.

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 Beef And Capers

Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs cleanly with red meat.

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 Beef And Capers

Syrah's pepper notes complement grilled and braised beef preparations.

Zinfandel

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

California's brawler — jammy blackberry, brambly spice, and 15% alcohol that hides behind the fruit. Built for ribs, brisket, and anything that came off a grill.

Why it works with Beef And Capers

Jammy Zin lifts BBQ-style and bigger-flavored preparations.
