Cave Dew is composed of 100% Pinot Noir from two organic Santa Cruz vineyards, one coastal tucked among the redwoods, and the other with a steep southern exposure (read: ripe fruit!) Vinified 50% whole cluster (for crunchy fruit) and 50% destemmed (for structure), then aged in old French oak. James' goal here was to produce a Burgundian-style Pinot in homage to the ones he fell in love with in his wine drinking youth.

Florèz Wines is a one-man operation run by James Jelks in 2017. He's all about prioritizing old world technique and sensibility in his wines.
After completing his degree in Oenology at UC Davis, James studied winemaking all over the world for 10 years before starting his own project in Santa Cruz.
After harvest, the juice was split into thirds and direct pressed, destemmed, and fermented whole cluster prior to being aged sur lie in oak.
This wine was made without any sulfites, fining or filtering.

Cool summer nights.
Skinny-dipping in a redwood hot tub.
Mushroom & black truffle risotto.
