| St. Francis Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 Sonoma County, California |
Product Notes: St. Francis Sonoma County is styled to emphasize rich varietal character and body in a classic Sonoma style. The fragrant Cabernet aromas of cassis and black fruit are underscored by discreet notes of vanilla, cedar and tobacco, and carry into ripe, intense berry fruit flavors on the palate. The structure is firm and well balanced, with excellent depth and supple, generous tannins. These impressions are confirmed on the finish, which is long and marked by a complex notes of spice and oak.

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.
