Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Rose Wine

Tuna can be paired with Pinot Noir, Merlot, 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. The Peter Michael Le Caprice Pinot Noir with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 259 dollars per bottle.

Peter Michael Le Caprice Pinot Noir

Deep red ruby color and bright crimson tinge is the clear identifierfor Le Caprice. The vineyard shows its signature characteristics ofred forest fruit coupled with aromas of red cherry liqueur, currant,raspberry, strawberry, fresh leather and graphite. The 2010 vintageis refined and expressive with intense concentration in the mouth.The finish lingers both aromatically and subtly on the palate.
