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 Short Steak

A mid-weight Merlot flatters Short Steak without overshadowing it — neither pulls focus.

Petite Sirah

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

California's misnamed powerhouse (no relation to Syrah) — inky, tannic, with notes of blueberry and black pepper. Built for the heaviest dishes on your table.

Why it works with Short Steak

Cut through Short Steak's fat with Petite Sirah's grippy tannins; this is the pairing every steakhouse leans on.
