Collection: Perfect Pairings: Lamb

Lamb's richness and slight gaminess call for red wines with genuine structure and tannin. Aged Bordeaux blends are the benchmark; Rioja Reserva, northern Rhône Syrah, and southern Italian reds like Aglianico are equally compelling depending on the cut and preparation.

A smoky peated Scotch or a full-bodied bourbon works beautifully alongside slow-roasted or barbecued lamb.
