Recommended wine: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir

Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir 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. You could try Wild & Wilder The Exhibitionist Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
Wild & Wilder The Exhibitionist Merlot
Wild & Wilder The Exhibitionist Merlot
The Exhibitionist is full of rich plum and damson fruit on the nose. Oak used is unobtrusive on the palate which is dominated by rich red berry flavors while also presenting subtle earthy nuances. The wine is elegant and silky with a long finish.
