J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon

VINTAGES ESSENTIALS 656561, $23.95

These rich and boldly flavoured beef burgers call for a wine such as this blockbuster red from California. Its ripe berry centre with vanilla and herb flavours will simultaneously enhance the beef, provide a great sweet-salt contrast with the blue cheese and boost the tangy tomato confit. It also has enough weight and structure to handle the creaminess of the dressing.
