Served With: Gumbo Five Things: magenta, strawberry, herbaceous, cocoa, heat
COO: Columbia Valley, Washington
Notes: Tasted for the #WAMerlot twitter event. I wasn't sure going into the meal if this Merlot from Charles Smith would pair with the spices (smoked paprika, file powder) and heat (cayenne) from the gumbo (okra thickened), but the wine amplified the smokiness and tomatoes and brought a little heat of its own in the process. Well played, sir.
