Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese

Pork Tenderloin works really well 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. One wine you could try is Flechas De Los Andes Gran Malbec (OU Kosher). It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 22 dollars.

Intense ruby colored. Bright, with complex aromas of blackberry, minerals and violets. Dense and concentrated, this wine has a solid acidity and tannins marking the flavors of berries, violets and bitter chocolate. They also maintain the sweetness of the wine. The finish is with sweet tannins and pleasant violet. This is a well-balanced wine, rich in personality.
