Recommended wine: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel

Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel are great choices for Meatloaf. Meatloaf will work with many red wines. We recommend something bold and fruity, like a Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel. The Nickel & Nickel Branding Iron Cabernet Sauvignon with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 110 dollars per bottle.

Nickel & Nickel Branding Iron Cabernet Sauvignon
Branding Iron Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has the aromas of wildberry and forest that distinguish this vineyard, even in a cooler year. Earth and sage complement the fruit and give a depth of flavor on the midpalate. The spicy oak and vanilla components add complexity, while the gentle tannins from this vintage are approachable now.
