Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with Crayfish Etouffee

Cabernet Sauvignon's structured tannins frame Crayfish Etouffee; reach for this when the dish has weight to match.

Petite Sirah

Adventurous

Red · Full · Dry

California's misnamed powerhouse (no relation to Syrah) — inky, tannic, with notes of blueberry and black pepper. Built for the heaviest dishes on your table.

Why it works with Crayfish Etouffee

Petite Sirah brings dark fruit and grip to Crayfish Etouffee — a meal-and-wine pairing built for slower evenings.

Tempranillo

Adventurous

Red · Medium · Dry

Spain's signature red — bright cherry, dusty earth, and a touch of vanilla from American oak. Soft enough to drink young; structured enough to age beautifully in the right cellar.

Why it works with Crayfish Etouffee

Tempranillo's mid-weight flatters Crayfish Etouffee without taking over — the everyday red strategy.

White

Classic

White · Medium · Dry

A medium-bodied dry white in the European tradition — crisp acid, citrus and orchard fruit, a clean mineral finish. Pairs reliably with most lighter dishes.

Why it works with Crayfish Etouffee

White's mid-weight handles Crayfish Etouffee well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.
