Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon are great choices for Steak. After all, beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner steaks go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier steaks can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Monterey Pinot Noir with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Monterey Pinot Noir

The Silver Label Pinot Noir has a bright ruby color and reveals an alluring perfume of red plums, flowers, and sweet spices. Profuse flavors of black cherry, dark currant, and strawberry fill out the plush palate while notes of sandalwood continue into the soft, elegant finish.
