At the Slope, the Zena Crown Vineyard shifts to face primarily south, encouraging perfect ripeness and maximum phenolic development. Symbolizing a dark winter’s night, Slope has a tensional voluptuousness, like a giant Uranium atom vibrating with Brownian motion. The wine has aromas of white truffle sauce, cranberry bog with flavors of earthy Thai basil, caramelized brown sugar, and a dark cold night sky – what Ferngully probably smells like. Tiers of flavor stacking upwards like a 20-layer sandwich, rich and earthy yet crunchy and tactile. An endless winter with infinite length.
