2021 Shypoke ‘Le Corbeau’ Napa Valley Charbono

This 2021 Calistoga, Napa Valley Charbono celebrates the remaining 75 acres of Charbono grown on the planet. Black tea, pomegranate, and red cherry aromatics are fulfilled in the mouth, tension and focus complete the experience.
The heirloom Charbono variety, hailing from the Savoie and grown with pride on our Calistoga ranch since 1904. Pomegranate and dark plum cut a groove amongst tart cherries and roasted sage.
Heirloom romanticism & south of France allure. Transcendent. Hand picked & cold soaked while awaiting the fermentation start. Then gentle hand punch downs. After extended maceration and dryness we
press directly to seasoned French oak barrels for native ML fermentation. These very traditional methods employed help capture the sense of place and time. 

Our Estate grown, hand crafted wines are sustainably farmed on our century old family ranch. Located in the northern end of the Napa Valley, our ranch is situated on a bed of alluvial soil which creates fruit of unique character and elegance.
