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.

Why it works with Herb-brined Pork Prime Rib Roast

American Pinot Noir's gentle structure complements Herb-brined Pork Prime Rib Roast's flavors; reach for this when subtler is better.

Red · Medium · Dry

California's signature red — jammy, brambly, often 15% alcohol, with notes of blackberry, black pepper, and dried herb. Built for ribs and brisket.

A mid-weight American Zinfandel flatters Herb-brined Pork Prime Rib Roast without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.

Barbera

Classic

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.

Why it works with Herb-brined Pork Prime Rib Roast

Lighter than a Cabernet, Barbera still has the weight to match Herb-brined Pork Prime Rib Roast's body.

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.

Lighter than a Cabernet, Grenache still has the weight to match Pork Rib Roast's body.

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 Roasted Pork Ribs

Argentine Malbec was made for charred red meat — supple tannin, dark 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 Roasted Pork Ribs

Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement smoked and charred preparations across the board.

Zinfandel

Classic

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 Roasted Pork Ribs

Zin is the great American BBQ wine — jammy, peppery, with the body to match smoke and char.
