The Winery:
Shasta View is located very near Neveu on Ager road with that unbelievable view across the valley to Mount Shasta in the distance. These two wineries, northeast of the city of Yreka are the furthest north in the state and seems an unlikely place to find grapes. However, the low mountain topography, very cold winters and hot summers are not unlike parts of France. The winery offers no tasting at the winery, which is a shame, but you can find the wines in local stores and restaurants.
|
The Vineyards:
These are vineyards with a view! The label on their wine bottle says it all - vines with this huge volcano in the distance. The area is very cold in the winter and can be quite hot in the summer, not unlike parts of Burgundy.
|
The Wines:
The winery produced several award winning wines, including a nice Cabernet Sauvignon with nice structure, good fruit, and a wonderful spiciness.
