Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese are my top picks for Pork Tenderloin. 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 Yacochuya San Pedro De Yacochuya Malbec with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
