James Jelks' idiosyncratic Florèz Wines has turned the world of non-interventionist wine on its ear with picture-perfect renderings of all the classic grape varieties that grow in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Organic, dry-farmed, ambient yeast, unfiltered...all the buzzwords are here in this cuvée sourced from purchased grapes in Yolo County's Dunnigan Hills, but Jelks backs them up with thought, taste and hard work so that the wines taste fresh, alive and of themselves. His Grenache- which references Châteauneuf-du-Pape in its playful name- is simultaneously energetic and faithful to the variety in its intense and aromatic strawberry/pomegranate fruit.
