Sourced exclusively from our Jackson Estates Grown vineyards in Santa Barbara and Monterey counties, this release offers the vibrant expression and remarkable depth of varietal character typical of the Chardonnay grown in these outstanding coastal winegrowing regions.
From the Wine Maker – “Rich tropical fruit intertwines with grapefruit, lemon and candied lime peel. Elegantly layered, this wine exhibits a lush texture and firm backbone with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon spice to round out the long finish.”
Recipe: Crab Salad with Rémoulade
Rémoulade Sauce
1⁄2 C. mayonnaise
11⁄2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp. ketchup
1 tsp. Creole or stone-ground mustard
1 tsp. Spanish smoked sweet paprika (pimentón dulce)
1⁄4 C. finely diced celery
1/4 C. finely diced pickels
1 Tbsp. minced shallot
2 tsp. minced fresh chives kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 C. cauliflower florets, cut in half if larger than 1”
4 C. thinly sliced Napa cabbage
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
12 oz. fresh lump crabmeat, picked over for shell
2 Tbsp. minced fresh chives
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, ketchup, mustard, and paprika. Fold in the celery, shallot, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the cauliflower until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Let cool. In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage with the olive oil and vinegar. Divide among 6 small plates or shallow bowls. Put the cauliflower in the bowl that held the cabbage. Stir in the crabmeat and rémoulade. Spoon equal amounts of the mixture over the cabbage and sprinkle with the 2 Tbsp. chives. Serve.
