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 Steak Skewers
Cabernet's tannins grip steak's protein and cut through fat — the textbook steakhouse pairing.
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 Steak Skewers
Argentine Malbec was bred for steak — supple tannin, dark plum fruit, no shyness.
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 Lemon Flank Steak Skewers
Lighter than a Cabernet, Merlot still has the weight to match Lemon Flank Steak Skewers's body.
Red · Medium · Dry
Old-vine Shiraz from Barossa or McLaren Vale: dark, peppery, and unembarrassed about its size. Black plum, smoked meat, licorice, and a finish that lingers like the last embers of a grill.
Why it works with Lemon Flank Steak Skewers
Sweet Shiraz gives Lemon Flank Steak Skewers a savory partner — cherry, leather, and a touch of acid.
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 Steak Skewers
Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement char and reduction sauces.
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 Steak Skewers
Jammy Zin with peppered or BBQ-rubbed steak — American-leaning pairing.
