Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Ahi Tuna can be paired with Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine. Though fish is often paired with white wine, 'meatier' fish like ahi tuna can absolutely go with red wine. A Rosé will also pair nicely, particularly if your ahi tunan is prepared with ingredients better suited to a white wine. The Bergevin Lane Vineyards "Linen" Merlot Wine with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Bergevin Lane Vineyards "Linen" Merlot Wine

Graceful Marion berry and strawberry intermingle with light spice and cedar on the nose. Fresh blueberry, blackberry and hints of plum move towards cocoa on the palate. The structure is mouth filling with silky tannins holding it all together. The finish is where the cabernet sauvignon shows up, with blackberry, cassis and tobacco.
