Shypoke calls the Calistoga AVA home. Their estate vineyard is located in the north-western corner of Napa Valley. The dirt to bottle history began in 1904, when Peter Heitz' great-grandparents immigrated from Alsace and literally planted roots and built bonded winery #103 for the production of fine wines. Through five generations of grape growers and winemakers, the Heitz family has continued the vision and efforts begun in 1904. Each wine honors the traditions of a family working together, to farm heirloom vines and to hand craft the resulting fruit into uniquely elegant and honest wines of place and vintage.
The heirloom Charbono grape hails from the Savoie region in France. It has been grown with great pride on the Shypoke Ranch since 1904. Deep flavors of black fruit and cherry commingle and are accompanied by subtle sage and tar notes. The long finish is punctuated with ripe and round tannins which compliments the plump fruit flavors.
