Okay, all you would-be vampires. Here's your chance to stock up on a Zinfandel that's just as dark as your black black hearts. Why else would they name it Denier Handal?
This Zinfandel walks among other wines undetected, with the best qualities of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. But, to those who know how to look, it shines like a jewel in a glass. Lean in close and smell the wood and spice. Exotic? Ancient? But it seems so mysteriously fresh!
But at night, when the fog opens your bedroom door… there it stands. The 2009 Denier Handal Vineyard, Alexander Valley Zinfandel 750ml 3-Pack. You try to look away, but you're mesmerized. The black currants, the blackberries, the black cherries and black pepper. "Drink," it whispers, and you feel the raspberries and figs mixing on your palate. You close your eyes, enthralled, knowing that you have two more nights of such glorious visitations… and then, the three bottles will be empty, and you will serve Denier Handal… for all time.
2009 Denier Handal Vineyard, Alexander Valley Zinfandel 750ml 3-Pack
This is a medium bodied, well-balanced wine that exhibits the best qualities of both Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. The balance between the fruit flavors, tannin and acid makes this vintage truly enjoyable. The first thing you notice is its color and clarity looking very much like a jewel in your glass. The aromas are pure fruit with hints of spices and wood. Raspberries, black currants, blackberries, and black pepper are the initial flavors with nuances of black cherry, figs, cedar and other spices. The finish is long and enjoyable. This is a typical Alexander Valley Zinfandel, brilliant, bright fruit, elegant with smooth tannins.
