2005 Cypress Shiraz

Purchase 2005 Cypress Shiraz

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 Chardonnay that cool Pacific Ocean air moves directly from Monterey Bay down the Monterey appellations of the Salinas Valley each and every day, creating richly flavored Chardonnay fruit with grapefruit and other citrus flavors paired with peach and even tropical character. Harvested and pressed in the vineyard at night, the Chardonnay is kept cold throughout its winemaking life, ensuring the preservation of the bright fruit flavors and acidity naturally created.

WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS

Cypress Chardonnay is a youthful, pale yellow in color with enticing fruit aromas of pear and peach, with citrus and tropical notes. It has lively fruit flavors of grapefruit, nectarine and pear with underlying vanilla spice. The refreshing acidity and solid palate intensity combined with the bright fruit aromas and flavors make it an ideal accompaniment to grilled chicken or seafood.
