For red meat: in general, lighter, more subtle tasting wines are avoided for game because game meat has such a strong taste compared to the regular fare we are used to. This would tend to overpower the taste of the wine. So, what are normally called full-bodied wines in the US are what would be recommended. Since most US wines hit you over the head with strong taste anyway this isn't really much of a consideration when buying a California red wine.
