2010 Cypress Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc

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, while preserving the grape’s natural acidity and flavor. For Cypress Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, the daily cooling air from the Pacific moves directly from the Monterey Bay and down the Monterey appellations of the Salinas Valley, creating a racy, new world style of Sauvignon Blanc with citrus, passion fruit and fresh herbaceous flavors balanced with bracing acidity. Harvesting and pressing in the vineyard at night ensures the preservation of these bright citrus flavors.
