The windswept Cypress tree, the unmistakable signature plant of California’s coastal terrain, owes its gnarled appearance to the maritime air’s persistent movement either inland or seaward. The ocean’s influence on the Central Coast winegrowing region is significant – keeping coastal and inland valleys refreshingly cool at night, while preserving the grape’s natural acidity and flavor. For Cypress Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2006 harvest demonstrated absolutely ideal growing conditions. Ample winter rainfall, followed by a moderately warm spring and summer produced exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon with pure varietal fruit flavors. Our passionate commitment to our red wines from Cypress Vineyards is to preserve and showcase the great black currant and cherry fruit flavors resplendent in grapes grown in the Central Coast.

WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS
The 2006 Cypress Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking dark purple in color with youthful hues. The wine has an attractive mix of chocolate-covered cherries, plums, black currants, violets and spicy, cedary oak aromas. The palate is very plump and rich with a mouthful of varietal Cabernet fruitiness from start to finish. A Cabernet serious enough for the connoisseur yet quaffable for anyone who enjoys a good glass of red wine, the 2006 Cypress Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon would be the perfect pairing for a roasted leg of lamb or Osso Bucco. This wine should be enjoyed in its youth or cellared up to five years.
