Shypoke

Napa Valley Cabernet and Charbono specialist with prestige critic recognition.

Shypoke produces wines in Napa Valley, where volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate favor both classic Bordeaux varieties and distinctive alternatives. The winery's Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the region's signature structure and depth. More distinctively, Shypoke focuses on Charbono, a varietal rarely seen in California. The Reserve Charbono and standard Charbono bottlings showcase the grape's dark fruit character and tannin framework. Wine Enthusiast has rated the Reserve Charbono at 93 points and both the Cabernet Sauvignon and Charbono at 91 points, indicating consistent quality across the portfolio. The emphasis on Charbono—a grape with Italian heritage that thrives in Napa's conditions—sets the winery apart from the valley's Cabernet-dominant landscape.
