Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are my top picks for Tuna. 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. You could try La Jota Howell Mountain Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 99 dollars per bottle.
