Recommended wine: Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel

Merlot, 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 Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 58 dollars per bottle.

Duckhorn Napa Valley Merlot

This wine shows aromas of sweet plum sauce, vanilla, chocolate, cedar and butterscotch with big, forward black cherry and black berry fruit in the mouth. A balanced middle with a hint of toasty oak is paired with a nice bite from rounded tannins, and a long pleasant finish. This wine pairs well with grilled meats and wild game with herb-infused, wild-berry sauces, hearty pasta dishes and Pacific Northwest Salmon.
