| 2003 Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No # 2 Yarra Valley Australia 750ml Yarra Valley, Australia |
Product Notes: The profound, deep ruby/purple-hued 2003 Dry Red Wine No. 2 offers an explosive bouquet of raspberries, mint, earth, kirsch liqueur, spice box, and licorice. Full-bodied and rich as well as remarkably elegant, complex, and nuanced with tremendous flavor dimension, it is amazingly light on its feet, and should evolve for a decade." 96/100 points. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Oct-2005)

 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.
