A brisk acidity keeps the wine lively and is signature of this mountain grown fruit. Notes of fresh cut hay, apples and citrus with brioche on the finish. James suggests pairing with seafood and brown butter sage pastas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER: \u003c\/strong\u003eFlorèz Wines was founded by James Jelks in 2017. Born in Santa Cruz and raised in Davis California Jelks is a west coast kid. After a decade of wine fascination, attending the UC Davis E\u0026amp;V program, and working worldwide Jelks set his sights on producing wines in Santa Cruz county.
