Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Merlot, Pinot Noir, and rosé Wine are my top picks 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. You could try Matanzas Creek Alexander Valley Merlot. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 28 dollars per bottle.

Matanzas Creek Alexander Valley Merlot
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.
