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 Matanzas Creek Alexander Valley Merlot with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

A medium purple color. Flavors of satsuma plum, dark chocolate covered raspberries, and allspice aromas primarily. On the palate, this is a classic Merlot with good concentration. It is savory and medium bodied with velvety tannins. Homemade cherry pie tart and sandal wood aromas are perceived easily when tasting.
