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. You could try Agua de Piedra Gran Seleccion Malbec. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 14 dollars per bottle.

Agua de Piedra Gran Seleccion Malbec

Dense flavors of dark plum and chocolate, layered with toasted oak and a velvety finish that lingers and lingers. Pairs well with grilled meats, medium to strong cheese or simply on its own.
