Pairs with burgermerlot · malbec · zinfandel
Vintage 2015|
Premium SelectionMerlot, Malbec, and Zinfandel are my top picks for Burger. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. The Provenance Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.
