This is a beautiful, elegant Cabernet with a bouquet loaded with red currant, blackberry, cocoa, and marzipan. The palate has a marvelous mouthfeel and offers layers of red fruit, mint, sage, and a persistent finish. Enjoy this beauty over the next 8-10 years.

Shypoke Winery

Shypoke Vineyards is located just south of Calistoga. The name Shypoke comes from an old family folk name that refers to Blue Herons; these birds still nest in the riparian zone next to their vineyards. The owner of Shypoke, Peter Heitz has family ties dating back to 1896 in the Napa Valley which makes his family among the oldest of the winemaking families in the Napa area. In fact, their old stone ghost winery still exists just west of their main vineyard.
