2018 Shypoke ‘Keep’ Napa Valley Red Blend

WSI93 Deep dense color. Dominant blackberry and cherry flavors, hint of tar on the finish. Intense. 2018 finds our Keep bottling settling in after a decade of hunting. Picked and fer-mented together aiming toward the blend that we have been honing in on for the past decade. Our estate grown Grenache, century old Charbono, ‘back breaker’ Petite Sirah and a fist pump of Malbec juicy fruit. 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. 6 barrels produced.
