Florèz Wines, Pinot Noir "Cave Dew" Santa Cruz, California 2022

100% Pinot Noir from Hunter Hill & Kadlecek vineyards, both in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Hunter Hill is a coastal site with weathered sandstone tucked into the redwoods, and Kadlecek vineyard is just minutes away from the winery on a steep southern exposure. Both are farmed organically.

50% whole cluster and 50% destemmed on top. A gentle maceration lasting until dryness. Pressed and sent to neutral French oak barrel for 10 months of sur lies aging.

Florèz's Cave Dew is a bright, medium-density Pinot with a nice dark hue. It has focused and expressive aromas of cherry, blueberry, and earth. With a generous and elegant palate, this wine overdelivers.
