White · Medium · Dry

California and Pacific Northwest Gewürztraminer — lychee, rose petal, ginger, made riper and fuller than Alsace. The American spicy-food companion.

Why it works with Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa

American Gewürztraminer's body and acid balance Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa's flavor profile.

Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Bigger reds work too — Cabernet adds structure to filet's softness.

Cava

Adventurous

Sparkling · Light · Dry

Spain's traditional-method sparkling, made in Catalunya. Crisper and chalkier than Prosecco; remarkable value next to Champagne. Pair with jamón, tortilla, and grilled vegetables.

Cava's bubbles and acid lift Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa — versatile and palate-cleansing.

German Dry White

Adventurous

White · Medium · Dry

Dry German Riesling — increasingly the country's flagship style. Stone fruit, slate minerality, racing acid; pairs beautifully with everything from sushi to schnitzel.

German Dry White's body and acid balance Peppered Pork Tenderloin With Cherry Salsa's flavor profile.

Malbec

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Argentina's signature grape: deep purple, plummy, and remarkably smooth for its weight. Soft tannins and a touch of cocoa make it the dinner-party Cabernet alternative — and far easier on the wallet.

Why it works with Peppered Pork Tenderloin

Plummy Malbec with grippy tannin pairs classically with red meat.

Merlot

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Cabernet's softer sibling — plum, black cherry, and a whisper of chocolate, framed by rounder tannins and earlier drinkability. The wine that built Pomerol and the one to reach for when Cabernet feels like overkill.

Why it works with Peppered Pork Tenderloin

Soft tannin and plum fruit suit filet mignon's tender bite.

Pinot Noir

Classic

Red · Light · Dry

Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.

Why it works with Peppered Pork Tenderloin

Pinot's silken texture flatters lean filet without overwhelming its delicacy.

Syrah

Classic

Red · Full · Dry

Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.

Why it works with Peppered Pork Tenderloin

Syrah's pepper and dark fruit complement red meat preparations.
