BROWSING ONLY
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.
