Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Malbec, Sangiovese

Pulled Pork works really well with Pinot Noir, Malbec, 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 MacMurray Ranch Russian River Pinot Noir with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 24 dollars per bottle.

MacMurray Ranch Russian River Pinot Noir

Our MacMurray Ranch 2012 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir opens with aromas of lavender and boysenberry that give way to flavors of dark cherry and pomegranate. This luscious wine has a silky mouthfeel, framed by subtle hints of oak from barrel aging.
