Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are great choices 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. The Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
