2005 Cypress Vineyards 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 and flavor.  For red wines from the Central Coast, 2005 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, our passionate commitment is to preserve and showcase the great cherry and currant fruit flavors resplendent in grapes grown in the Central Coast.
