Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tunan on the menu? Try pairing 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 Grgich Hills Estate Merlot with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 47 dollars per bottle.
Grgich Hills Estate Merlot
A cool climate Merlot with bright fruit flavors and mouth pleasing acidity from Grgich Hills' vineyards in southern Napa Valley, grown without artificial fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides. With wonderfully complex aromas of cranberries, cedar and toasted hazelnuts, this wine is the perfect partner with beef tenderloin, rack of lamb or roasted pork.
