2006 Cypress Vineyards Shiraz

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.
