2005 Cypress Sauvignon Blanc

Purchase 2005 Cypress Sauvignon Blanc

The Cypress is the plant most associated with California’s rugged Pacific coast. Its twisted and gnarled appearance comes as a direct result of the maritime air’s persistent movement either inland or seaward. For grape growing, the ocean’s influence is significant – keeping coastal and inland valleys refreshingly cool preserving the grape’s natural acidity. For Cypress Sauvignon Blanc, that cool Pacific Ocean air moves directly from Monterey Bay down the Monterey appellations of the Salinas Valley each and every day, creating a racy, new world style of Sauvignon Blanc with citrus, passion fruit and fresh herbaceous flavors balanced with bracing acidity. Harvested and pressed in the vineyard at night, the Sauvignon Blanc is kept cold throughout its winemaking life, ensuring the preservation of the bright fruit flavors and acidity naturally created.
