Recommended wine: Malbec, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese

Malbec, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese are great choices 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. The Sur de los Andes Malbec with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 10 dollars per bottle.
