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. The Septima Malbec with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
Septima Malbec
Septima Malbec
Bright intense violet red. Elegant and complex with notes ofblackberry and plum jam. The wood is very subtle and blends seamlessly with the fruity flavor. The wine is fresh due to its natural acidity, and is fruity with sweet and rounded tannins.Balanced and intense with a clear varietal character.
