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 Rutini Coleccion Cabernet-Malbec. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 23 dollars.

Deep ruby red. Duo of varietals of French origin results in harmo- nious and balanced red: Cabernet Sauvignon delivers its full-bod- ied character, and Malbec lends nuance to the blend with soft and sweet tannins, enhancing a unique combination of fruity flavours and aromas.
