Grilled Steak
"Steak" is many a food lover's favorite word, and this flavorful meat has so much potential when it comes to wine pairings. Whether you're throwing a ribeye on the grill, slow-cooking boeuf bourguignon, or whipping up your favorite meatballs, my pairing guide will show you sensational pairings for this succulent meat.
Grilled Steak
The key to picking a mind-blowing pairing for grilled steaks starts with the tannins: you need a wine with a tough enough tannin base to stand up to the meat's juicy, intense grilled flavor. Most steaks have a traditional salt and pepper seasoning, so that's where we're going to start. Think pepper and lots of it, throw in some herbaceous elements (basil, fennel, tarragon) and now you're talking. Seek out a peppery Australian Shiraz, Californian Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon , or if you want to "parlez-vous français", get your hands on a Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Wine experts think this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wine would be a match made in heaven with this dish. Bon appétit!
Cade Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2018
Tasting NotesBased on 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning 2018 that plays with the crème de la crème of the vintage. Stunning cassis and blueberry fruit notes are interwoven with notions of white chocolate, unsmoked tobacco, forest floor, and lead pencil shavings. These all carry to the palate, where this beauty is full-bodied, deep, and concentrated, with the straight, focused style of the vineyard paired with beautiful depth and sweetness of fruit. This classic, sexy tour de force in 2018 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has everything in the right places, no hard edges, and a great finish. Drink it any time over the coming 20 years or more.
