Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are great choices for Ahi Tuna. 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. One wine you could try is La Jota Howell Mountain Merlot. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 99 dollars.
