About E11even Wines: “I think of our E11even wines as an amazing opportunity to show off and share the bounty of our diverse vineyard sites. These are our first wines, not copies or imitations of anything else. These wines are informed by my 30 years of winegrowing in Los Olivos and represent the VERY best barrels that we craft each year.”

TASTING NOTES:
Remix Blend - “Just like a mix tape is a compilation of favorite songs from varying musical genres, the blend was bringing together a mix of different varietals, with each one adding unique characteristics and layers to the final wine. As we continue to learn from prior vintages and blending sessions, we decided to branch out with this wine and now call it ‘Remix’. The 2020 Vintage is impossibly dark and supremely complex and concentrated.” (AbV 14.5%)

Petit Verdot - “We love it for its robust tannin structure, dark color and a lush flavor profile and believe it shows a strong enough presence to stand on its own! The 2020 growing season was another long one, largely a function of fine weather—with some wonderful warmth that adds ripeness and richness to this vintage. We are already seeing the benefit of longer hang time in this wine: mature sweet tannins, outstanding color and brightness, depth of fruit, and beautiful balance.” (AbV 14.5%)

Petite Sirah - “ The 2020 Petite Sirah explodes with aromas of fresh blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, vanilla and lavender. On the palate, you will taste mouthwatering tart summer berries, espresso and mocha wrapped in dense velvety tannins.” (AbV 14.5%)

Cabernet Franc - “2020 provided a nearly picture-perfect vintage for our vineyard with a long growing season that allowed for even ripening and amazing flavor development. In addition, cold, crisp evenings allowed for grapes to hang on the vine, into the middle of October. The 2020 vintage expresses rich flavors of fresh summer plum, blackberries, crushed gravel, and lilac with a cooling herbaceous undernote.” (AbV 14.5%)

BARRELS: ~20 months in French oak, 25% or less new.

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Something I can shout out to distract my opponent so I can change the positions of my ships when they aren’t looking.
