The 2020 vintage is Savagnin, Chardonnay, Bergeron, and Savagnin Rose Musqué, and it’s by far my favorite Shasta-Cascade White yet.

Super hazy onion skin hue. Saline, savory, and herbal, with notes of cantaloupe, white peach, preserved lemon, kaffir lime, musk, lemon thyme, sage, white grapefruit, yellow apple, honeysuckle, cider, clay, wet stone. Medium+ body but lots of acidity to keep it bright and fresh. Very unique, interesting, and delicious.
