Colchagua Valley, Chile
 
A classic pairing if there ever was one. This mostly Cabernet (85 percent) blend easily stands up to the robust smoky flavors of the grill, the black pepper, and the meat. Chief Winemaker Marcelo Gallardo blends in Syrah and Carménère to mellow Cab’s powerful tannins and give the wine good acidity with an herbaceous backbone, to make sure every bite and sip have something new to discover.
