Wine note: A classic roast beef tenderloin is the quintessential match for cabernet sauvignon. Cabernet has majestic structure and deep, rich flavor, mirroring everything tenderloin has to offer. Try one of Napa Valley's most sumptuous, soft, and rich cabernets: Shafer One Point Five Stag's Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 ($65). --Karen MacNeil
