Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese

Pork Tenderloin can be paired with Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese. Pinot noir's light body is great for lean cuts, medium bodied sangiovese complement meaty sauces, stews, and other multi-ingredient dishes, and full-bodied tannic malbec pairs with fatty cuts and barbecue. The Crocus Malbec de Cahors L'Atelier with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Crocus Malbec de Cahors L'Atelier

Dark garnet color. Fresh aromas of violet, cherry blossom and wild flowers seamlessly blend with red and black fruit such as Burlat cherry and blackcurrant jam, finishing with a hint of spice. The palate is smooth, giving black cherry, fresh raspberry and ripe blueberry flavors, finishing with firm tannins and bright acidity.
