Bold steak deserves a bold pour. This coffee-rubbed ribeye brings deep, toasty spice and a beautiful crust—exactly the kind of savory richness that makes Seven Hills Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon shine. The Cabernet’s dark fruit, structure, and polished tannins meet the char and umami head-on, then finish clean and lifted. Pour a glass, fire up the pan or grill, and let this be your go-to “special night in” pairing.
