Features

2009 Denier-Handal Vineyard, Alexander Valley Zinfandel 750ml 4-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.

Vendor Details

Denier-Handal Vineyards

Owners:
Alyce Denier and Dick Handal
Founded:
Vineyard was founded in 1996, the Winery operation in 2009
Location:
Glenn Ellen, CA
Winemaker:
Peter Wellington
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 through Woot.
