Shypoke calls the Calistoga, Napa Valley AVA home.
Skypoke's Estate vineyard is sited in the North-Western corner of the world famous Napa Valley on a bed of alluvial soil. Their dirt to bottle history in California began in 1904 when Winemaker Peter Heitz’ Great Grandparents immigrated from Alsace, France and literally planted roots and built bonded winery #130 for the production of fine wines. Through nine generations of Alsatian and now five generations of California Vignerons, our family has built upon and honored the craft of tending unique soils and fusing the resulting fruit into uniquely elegant and honest wines of place and vintage.
2021 finds Shypoke's Keep bottling settling in after a decade of hunting. Picked and fermented together, their estate grown Grenache, century old Charbono, and ‘back breaker’ Petite Sirah find a singular voice. The blue persuasion of old vine Petite Sirah & Charbono weave their tales so nicely, all while exhausting to the red wafts of that Grenache perfection. The result is both interesting and delicious. Enticing aromatics lead to savory, red fruit tones while remaining fresh and focused.
