port wine sauce

Fortified wine reduction

Port wine sauce is a rich, savory sauce made by reducing port wine with stock, shallots, and often butter.

It's a classic accompaniment to beef, game, and liver dishes, where its slightly sweet, complex flavor complements red meat: The filet mignon came with a glossy port wine sauce.
