Shypoke – Calistoga – 2019
Rating: 93 pts – Wine Spectrum
Only 250 Cases Produced!
Shypoke calls the Calistoga AVA home. Their estate vineyard is located in the north-western corner of Napa Valley. 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.Â
This is old school Napa Cab, the way it was made in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, before masses of fruit, new oak and extraction became the norm. The aromas are pristine and clean with gorgeous purity of fruit mingled with a restrained use of French oak and an intriguing minerality. On the palate, the wine displays elegance and finesse with a firm acidity and rigid tannins that frame all the wonderful, complex flavors in the right place. The finish is delectable and minutes long, inviting you gradually back for another sip after processing the wonder just enjoyed. Drink now, but this wine will age beautifully for 10+ years.

This flagship wine from Teeter-Totter Estate is a barrel selection of the finest lots in the cellar, crafted by Benoit Touquette. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, it presents a highly aromatic nose with blackberry, cassis, candied violets, wild herbs, and elegant cedar. The palate is full-bodied with silky, satiny tannins and a noble texture, complemented by graceful ironstone minerality on the long, polished finish.

Skipstone – Faultline Vineyard – 2021
Rating: 92 pts – Janic Robinson
Composition: 42% Cabernet Franc, 58% Merlot
Only 275 Cases Produced!
A wine of singularity and sophistication, the 2021 Faultline Vineyard commands attention with a gorgeous display of boysenberries, blueberry reduction, and cassis accented by scents of violet, lilac, star anise, coffee, and crushed stone. The palate is full-bodied and textured with layers of dark fruits, minerals, and exotic spices. The seamless structure is braced by gorgeous chocolatey tannins and a luxurious extended finish. Best enjoyed 2025-2041, we recommend at least a 2 hour decant to allow the wine to shine today.
