Perfect Pairings

Pinot Noir

Red WineBurgundy, France; Oregon & New Zealand

Silky, medium‑light bodied red with red cherry, cranberry and forest‑floor notes, more about perfume and texture than power.

LightEarthy

Merlot

Red WineRight Bank Bordeaux, France & California, USA

Plush and plummy with soft tannins, offering black cherry, cocoa and gentle spice—rounder and more approachable than many Cabernets.
