Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon are great choices for Skirt Steak. 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. You could try Argyle Reserve Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.
Argyle Reserve Pinot Noir
Argyle Reserve Pinot Noir
The Willamette Valley is best known for their rich Pinot Noir and this is one of the biggest and richest ever from Argyle! Take the color and scent of a Guinee rose, add fruit aromas of black cherry and marion berry with spice aromas of turned earth and dark cocoa and you just begin to approach the complexity of this wine. "Ripe and generous, with distinctive violet and rose petal overtones to the cherry and spice flavors, lingering with fine texture. Needs time to settle in. Twenty percent of the wine will be bottled under screw cap. The wine bottled under screw cap scored 92 points. Best from 2007 through 2012."-Wine Spectator
