Cabernet Sauvignon

Classic 5 dishes

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.

Malbec

Classic 4 dishes

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.

Rioja

Classic 4 dishes

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.

Syrah

Classic 4 dishes

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.

Red · Medium · Dry

The cooler-climate sibling of Cabernet Sauvignon — leaner, more aromatic, with notes of bell pepper, raspberry, and graphite. The Loire's Chinon and Bourgueil do it best.

Why it works with Lamb Jus

Cabernet Franc gives Lamb Jus a savory partner — cherry, leather, and a touch of acid.

Merlot

Classic

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 Lamb Jus

A mid-weight Merlot flatters Lamb Jus without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.

Red · Full · Dry

Bordeaux's tiny-percentage powerhouse — deep color, intense tannin, blackberry and violet. Rarely solo; transformational in a blend.

Why it works with Pan Seared Lamb Chops With Petit Verdot And Dijon Mustard Jus

Built for Pan Seared Lamb Chops With Petit Verdot And Dijon Mustard Jus: Petit Verdot's structure stands up to the dish without flinching.
