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 Pride Mountain Vineyards Merlot with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 50 dollars per bottle.

Pride Mountain Vineyards Merlot

A sumptuous nose of bright plum, cherry, rose petal, mulberry and walnut introduces an enticing wine that sets the taste buds firing. The palate is layered and lush, expressing undulating waves of red fruit woven together by a rich mid-palate and vibrant acidity. 7% Cabernet Sauvignon from the volcanic Rim Rock block and the rocky Quartz Hill block were blended in to add depth and structure to the wine. While we often describe this Merlot as a "Cab lover's Merlot," the 2011 demonstrates what makes Merlot so lovely and special as a varietal wine – concentration, smooth but full texture, finesse and that elusive X factor that has "lusciousness."Blend: 93% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon.
