Crab Cakes – Grapefruit Relish, Crème Fraiche, Caviar
The 2020 CS Meritage pairs beautifully with Crab Cakes, enhancing the delicate seafood with its peach, apricot, and pear aromas. The wine’s acidity balances the richness of the crab and créme fraiche, while its fruitiness complements the citrusy relish. The subtle tannins add contrast, enhancing the dish’s flavors, including the salty caviar. This pairing offers a perfect balance of richness, brightness, and complexity.
