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. You could try Yacochuya San Pedro De Yacochuya Malbec. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.

Yacochuya San Pedro De Yacochuya Malbec

An inviting nose of smoke, tar, licorice, soy, black cherry, and black currant. This leads to a full-bodied wine with layers of succulent fruit, excellent depth and concentration, and a lengthy, pure finish. Blend: 85% Malbec and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
