Recommended wine: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rose Wine
Tuna can be paired 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. One wine you could try is Goldschmidt Vineyard Alexander Valley Chelsea Merlot. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.

Beautiful red raspberry, black cherry, and spice aromas. Full and round with plum, red currant, blackberry, and bay leaf flavors. The soft tannins give this wine a velvety smoothness and the chocolatey finish just goes on and on.
