2017 Zena Crown Pinot Noir ‘Slope’ Eola-Amity Hills

WS95 Sleek and agile, yet well-structured, with graceful raspberry, mineral and spiced tea flavors that build richness and tension on the way to refined tannins. Drink now through 2028. 538 cases made.
VIN94 Brilliant magenta. Intensely perfumed cherry, black raspberry, boysenberry and incense aromas take on vibrant mineral and spice notes with air. Stains the palate with concentrated yet vibrant red and blue fruit, floral pastille and cola flavors that turn spicier through the back half. Suave, polished tannins build smoothly through the impressively long, energetic finish, which emphatically repeats the floral and cherry notes.
Estate Notes: Symbolizing a dark winter’s night, Slope exhibits aromas of chocolate, sage, bay leaf, and smoke cinnamon with flavors of wild morel, allspice, and bacon.
