Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese

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. One wine you could try is Vina Cobos Bramare Uco Valley Malbec. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 40 dollars.

Deep purple red. Complex aromas of spices and fruit: fresh red berries with hints of violets combined with baking spices. Vibrant acidity and elegant mid-palate with silky texture.
