Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Tuna works really well with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The Anthem Estate Merlot Mt. Veeder Napa Valley Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 99 dollars per bottle.
