Lohr, have embarked on a new direction of winemaking for Cypress. Viticulturally, that means harvesting each varietal at the peak of bright fruit flavor development irrespective of maturity. Fermentation and aging occur in stainless steel to ensure the preservation of every ounce of fruit intensity. Reds are pressed when a soft balance of extraction of color and tannin is achieved. At blending time, a tremendous amount of “mucking around” with each wine brings the trios vision of each varietal to fruition - intense fruit aromas and flavors with bright and deep colors. Finally, the wines are sealed with the modern new Stelvin® closure to ensure that the bright fruit flavors and aromas of each varietal are preserved “untainted” in each and every bottle.

Winemaker's Comments

The 2004 Cypress Cabernet has youthful purple hues and good density, with a lifted, bright mix of cherry and currant fruit aromas with an accent of vanilla oak. On the palate, bright forward cherry fruit characters present a mouthful of fruit yet are balanced with good weight and structure, followed by soft lingering finish. Enjoy now with chicken marsala or pizza, or cellar for up to 10 years.
