Chateauneuf du Pape & Beef Tenderloin

Take a trip to France without leaving the comfort of your kitchen tonight. We have paired the 2009 Domaine Ferrando "Colombis" Chateauneuf du Pape (Bottle: $69.99 - As part of a mixed case: $59.50) with Beef Tenderloin with Red-Wine and Marrow Sauce. This is a typical French pairing- the bold french red wine accentuates the essential flavors in meat dishes such as beef tenderloin. This Chateauneuf du Pape is medium ruby-hued and an extraordinarily seductive wine. It is an irresistible, medium to full-bodied, classic Chateauneuf with nearly overwhelming levels of kirsch and spice. It is best drunk in its first 6-8 years of life.
