Description
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 exhibits flavors of huckleberry, caramelized onion, cranberry, and Jory soil with aromas of beetroot, loganberry, and oyster mushroom. This wine has a personality of a very old soul in a young person’s body and reminds winemaker, Shane Moore, of sledding in fresh snow as a child under a full moon, far away from the nearest house, under the stars and far away from everything.
At the Slope, Zena Crown Vineyard shifts to face primarily south, encouraging perfect ripeness and maximum phenolic development. Shaped like the Madonna, this wine is vivacious and dense with flavors of spruce tips, dragon fruit, and prickly pear. Aromas of bay laurel, sweet marjoram, and tangerine peel drift over western mountain huckleberry and roasted plum compote. The 2022 Slope is rich, focused, and tactile.
