Methode Sauvage
Iruai Shasta-Cascade Trousseau Blend
Oregon, USA
Very Beaujolais-like. Lots of juicy pomegranate, blueberry, cranberry, and a bit of grape. Rose and violet potpourri, vintage lipstick, crushed oyster shell minerality. Bright, lifted, and very pretty with subtle chalky tannins. (This review is for the 2019 Iruai Shasta-Cascade)

A light cranberry color with thin edges. Remarkable nose of fresh blue fruits along with massive amounts of strawberry. Lifesavers and fresh herbs. A fruity potpourri in a bottle. Trousseau, Mondeuse, and Blaufränkisch make up this wild and untamed blend.
Very, very reminiscent of Beaujolais in structure and flavor profile. Bright acidity with firm structure, this always maintains a nice level of balance. It never allows itself to become alcoholic juice. Extraordinarily fresh blueberries on the palate that are joined by tart cranberries and more fresh herbs. As fun as this is, it is serious stuff. Seriously delightful.

Red, juicy unfiltered goodness. Tastes like some of my favorite go-to’s produced in Loire or Beaujolais
