What do you consider a sturdy red wine?

I typically use a Burgundy or Côtes du Rhône; lately I've used a decent Burgundy-style wine from Paso Robles, CA, as well. I'm sure that sdebrango's recommendations also would work well. ;o)

Maybe AntoniaJames will see this and give her expert input but I consider a Syrah, Pinot Noir, both to be sturdy. Of course a burgundy is also.
