Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Sangiovese

Tenderloin Steak works really well with Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Beef and red wine are a classic combination. Generally, leaner cuts of beef go well with light or medium-bodied reds, such as pinot noir or merlot, while fattier cuts can handle a bold red, such as cabernet sauvingnon. The Archery Summit Arcus Pinot Noir with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 59 dollars per bottle.

Archery Summit Arcus Pinot Noir
This bright red Pinot Noir boasts deep aromatics of rose petals, carnations, ripe raspberries, spice, minerals and sweet oak. Concentrated fruit flavors integrate with fine tannins and balanced acid that lead to a lush mid-palate with a very long and elegant finish. Profound, complex, and subtle, the Arcus will drink beautifully and improve over the next ten years.
