With wild yeast fermentation (hence the name cuvée sauvage) and 16 months in French barrel, a rich and plush chard was to be expected. Ripe pear, lime, apple pie, chrysanthemum tea, and touch of roasted almond. Soft creamy palate with vivid acidity. Oak is very well integrated, and by no means it’s oaky. A bit heat at the end, but overall complex and well balanced.
As with the winery’s Napa cab, they don’t make this bottling anymore. A pity. — 4 years ago

Crisp nose of unripe pear, honey and lime on the nose. Baked honey crisp apple, white flower, slight petrol on the palate. Lovely minerality and sense of terroir in this wine. — 5 years ago

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) — 5 years ago

I opened this whole wearing my new Methode Sauvage t-shirt. My 5 year old says "cool shirt mom, did you buy that so you can match your wine?"

No no.

Mineral like kissing a statue, light pineapple, salt rim, jasmine. Savage. — 5 years ago

A fantastic wine. Crunchy fruit, peppery spice, and some lovely dry, mellow tannins. Giving the best natty guys from Europe a run for it. — 6 years ago

Initially I smelled a wilting rose and after reading other reviewed I recognized the Smokey smell. The body is light and went well with chicken breasts with capers. — 7 years ago

Loved the description on the website saying “It's the wild and mysterious light-bodied red that makes Pinot Noir taste like a Republican.” So true. Light chillable red. Cherry blood orange acidity hint of pepper and wet stones. No “funk” here just subtle earthy delight. — 6 years ago
