Sauvignon Musque is a musk-scented clone of Sauvignon Blanc, with extra floral, tropical-fruit aromatics on top of Sauvignon's usual character. California's numbers show it rising and then abruptly vanishing from official tracking: bearing acreage grew from 109 acres in 2000 to 335 acres five years before the present, with 352 acres logged as of 2021, and then it drops out of the acreage report entirely, with crush data ending the following year too. No UC Davis Foundation Plant Services registry entry exists for it, so it likely persists only as budwood passed grower to grower.

What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for Sauvignon Musque, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
