Château Tréviac Corbières, France - Syrah and Grenache 

Perfect with: Wild boar stew or venison ragout This powerful red wine from the Corbières excels with ripe berry aromas, spice, and a hint of pepper.

Dos - Rafael Cambra Valencia, Spain - Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc 

Perfect with: Grilled wild rabbit or hare with thyme

The Dos is powerful yet with soft tannins, making it an excellent pairing for dishes featuring game that has a more subtle character than, for example, venison. The Spanish sun gives the wine a certain warmth in the glass that contrasts beautifully with the earthy flavors on the plate.
