Terrible - way to salty. Ruined the whole thing. The broth is to salty.

I was most anxious to try this recipe considering we love red wine and filets. And considering the top billing it received in the newsletter today from Allrecipes, I couldn't wait for that first bite. Major disappointment. Maybe it will be better tomorrow but for all the time, preparation and cost, I am betting that I will never make this again.

I loved this recipe! My boyfriend and I have now made it about 3 times in 2 months and still enjoy it very much!

My husband and I made this for Christmas Eve and it was so incredibly wonderful. Thank you for making a special evening even more special. Every last morsel of mignon was gone! We are making it again for family this weekend!!

The sauce was very pretty but I practically got drunk off of it-it was so winey! I mean wine city!! I felt like I wasted my beautiful filets.

Unbelievable sauce!! I made the sauce the night before, which made the cooking time very short. I'm going to try and add some shiitake or cremini mushrooms to the sauce for something extra next time. Overall, this is a great recipie and an excellent sauce...your guests will think that you're an amazing chef...mine did!

Very good recipe. The sauce tastes very salty on its own, but its a perfect compliment to the beef- I substituted sirloin and it came out delicious and tender.

This merlot sauce was excellent!! And, we even re-heated the sauce to use on ribeye's the next night. If you spend the extra for the tenderloin, this is the perfect compliment. I think I will cut my fillets in half or thirds next time, because it took a lot longer to pan fry, as thick as they were. Thank for the recipe!

A very gourmet taste to this one. Merlot sauce has a very intense flavor for wine lovers out there.

WOW! This sauce has a beautiful presentation, not to mention a wonderful flavor! I scaled it down to 2 & used a small (187ml) bottle of Merlot. I can't wait to serve it to guests. Thanks Melody!!

Excellent sauce... Merlot can be a bit pricey, but sometimes you have to spoil yourself. I used filets Green beans are a good choice for a side dish, as well as au gratin potatos for a "cheese and wine" taste.

This recipe made me feel like a gourmet chef... It was awesome and the sauce had excellent flavor. I served with garlic mashed potatoes and string beans with toasted almond slivers and it was a hit. My new favorite recipe! Thank you for sharing it.
