Features

2011 Denier-Handal Limited Release Red Wine Blend, Family Selection, Dry Creek Valley 750ml 4-Pack

Rich and appealing in the nose, two years of barrel age endowed this unique and savory blend with an abundance of spice aromas (vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg) that support and enrich the ripe and candied fruit flavors apparent in both the nose and palate.

2011 was a year full of challenges and surprises and we chose to blend all of our estate fruit into this wine for the vintage.  A delightful red wine. This wine presents an appealing contrast between ripe fruit and elegant tannin; this delightful balance makes the wine a great partner for North African cuisine such as a Moroccan Tagine of Lamb or Beef with Prune…or duck breast with sweet cherry sauce.  Enjoy!

Vendor Details

Denier-Handal Vineyards

Owner:
Alyce Denier & Dick Handal
Founded:
Vineyard was founded in 1996, the Winery operation in 2009
Winemaker:
Peter Wellington
Location:
Glen Ellen, CA

We have been farming winegrapes and producing wines in Ecuador, Chile, and California for over 27 years.  Dick got started in Ecuador thanks to Don Angel Duran who took him under his wing teaching him about farming grapes.  He was simply a farmer, the Mayordomo of a large hacienda in the highlands of the Andes outside of Quito, the capital of Ecuador, but he knew about grapes.  While working for the Patron, he was sent to Argentina to learn viticulture.  Unfortunately, he could never support his family making wine or Pisco.  Then we met, and he found his chance to return to viticulture.

Although we grow mostly Cabernet Sauvignon we have small amounts of wonderful Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot and Syrah.  Thanks to the guidance of Peter Wellington we were able to start produce excellent wines that he as winemaker, crafted.  We are pleased to be able to share these wines with you.
