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. One wine you could try is Yangarran Estate Appellation Series Merlot. It has 4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 14 dollars.

Yangarra Estate Appellation Series Merlot

"Young and vibrant now, with a great burst of fresh acidity, but with scads of fruit. Explodes on the palate with waves of sweet cherry, blackberry and plum flavors. Tannins are thick and fancy. This is an ager but it would be a shame to miss the youthful vivacity."-Wine EnthusiastDeep aromas of ripe plum and wild berry are distinguished by hints of spicy nutmeg in this lovely wine. On the palate, there is plenty of sweet black fruit, subtly layered with complex spice and toasty oak. Rich and luscious, the wine finishes with an elegant impression of soft tannins and long-lasting flavor.
