Product Notes:
The opaque purple-hued, medium-bodied 2004 Charbono Tofanelli Vineyard reveals blueberry and bitter chocolate-like aromas and flavors along with hints of new saddle leather and fresh earth. This impressive Charbono can be enjoyed over the next 3-5 years

Food Pairing:
Zinfandel is an excellent wine to pair with a wide variety of meats (excluding poultry and seafood). The classic Zinfandel pairing is BBQ and Chili. Pizza, hamburgers, and hearty pasta dishes also work well.

About Varietal:
Zinfandel's fruit intensity and firm acidity enable the wine to pair brilliantly with a broad range of foods and dishes; from casual-rustic-nostalgic foods (pizza, ribs, sausage, meatloaf, hamburgers) to masterpieces of international cuisine (particularly those involving lamb, game, duck, and beef).

Recipe:
Steak with Mushroom Merlot Sauce Recipe

This steak recipe goes very well with merlot wine - Use some for the sauce, and the rest for your glass!
INGREDIENTS:
2 10oz ribeye steaks
2 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp butter
6oz shiitake mushrooms
1 shallot
3/4 cup merlot
1 Tbsp thyme

First, salt and pepper steaks on both sides. Heat the vegetable oil to medium high, and then cook steaks for about 3 minutes per side.

Put the steaks on a plate but keep the oil in the pan. Put the butter in the pan, along with the wine, chopped up mushrooms and chopped up shallots and reduce for 5-10 minutes. Pour this sauce over the steaks and serve.
