Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine

Tuna works really well with Merlot, Pinot Noir, 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 Benziger Merlot with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 39 dollars per bottle.

Benziger Merlot

This Merlot reflects the power of the vintage without departing from the family style of richness with soft tannins. Bright blackberry and plum in the nose with hints of bramble, spice, coffee, tobacco, and toasty vanillin. A rich, complex Merlot with concentrated up-front flavors and persistent finish.
