TN: 2021 Extradimensional Wine Co. Yeah Full King Crab White Wine

2021 Extradimensional Wine Co Yeah! Full King Crab White Wine
40% Chardonnay
30% Chenin Blanc
15% Marsanne
15% Viognier
(All from Brosseau Vineyard Chalone)

After pairing both the EDWC Chendawg and Semdawg with crab cakes and loving the results, I wasn’t sure how the hell to top that. Well here is one way. Pair the EDWC Full King Crab White with, drum roll please, Pasta with King Crab! Everything you could possibly want from a pairing of food and wine. The sweet yet briny crab worked perfectly with the ripe fruit floral notes and acid of the wine. If you don’t like this combo, get some needed therapy [wink.gif]

Decanted for an hour and served cool not cold. Aromas of gardenia, jasmine, citrus and peach. Flavors follow with lemon, Mandarin orange, passionfruit and a touch of celery leaf. Stones and rocky minerality hang with the flavor profile and persist on the long finish. Medium body but with a pleasing mouthfeel and texture the wine weighs in at 12.5% ABV none of which is even remotely noticed.
Always fun pairing Hardy’s wines with food, this one was special.
