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 red wines from the Central Coast, 2006 was another great year. The abundant rainfall during the winter and early spring brought new life to our vineyards with a beautiful crop and pure fruit flavors. For Cypress Vineyards Shiraz, our passionate commitment is to preserve and showcase the great cherry and currant fruit flavors resplendent in grapes grown in the Central Coast.

WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS
The 2006 Cypress Vineyards Shiraz is dark purple red in color with youthful hues. The aroma is dominated by brambly berry fruit of boysenberry and blackberry with black pepper spiciness. On the palate, the aromas are echoed with a very plump and soft, jammy fruit texture lasting through the very satisfying finish. Try Cypress Vineyards Shiraz with beef fajitas, pizza or spicy, hearty chili. This wine should be enjoyed in its youth or cellared up to five years.
