I'm fixin (Texans for "preparing to) to do a rack of lamb in mustard sauce. Have never given much thought to an accompanying wine. Any suggestions as to what sort of red would pair with without overpowering?

the issue isn't really what red would overpower a rack of lamb, but what the mustard sauce might do with the rack. Generally I like a Bordeaux with a good dose of Merlot in it (St Emilion for instance) but Syrah based wines work well as do Grenache-read Rhone Northern or Southern. To avoid overpowering the lamb stay away from big Zins and strongly oaked cabs.
