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 Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Merlot with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

83% Merlot, 7% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Syrah.This 2007 Merlot exhibits bold aromas of wild blueberries, red raspberries punctuated with hints of cassis and Ceylon blacktea. Medium-bodied, with a velvet mid-palate, this wine's sensual flavors are supported by small additions of Malbec,Cabernet Franc, and Syrah which contribute to the fine-grain, softly structured tannins, broad mouthfeel and abiding finish.
