The INSIDER DEAL Of The Year! Andrew Murray E11even Wines 94+ Point Reds

Andrew Murray’s E11even Wines make their debut in our Insider Deals with TWO Perfect 10, Bulk Buy rated wines that are over XX% OFF. In fact, these go to eleven!

Whatever you do, do not miss the big, deep, dark and rich E11even Petite Sirah and E11even Petit Verdot 4-pack. This is our deal of the year!

It’s hard to state in words how much we love these wines. Our love affair with Andrew Murray’s wines go back many years to the very beginning of this site when we first discovered his Tous Les Jours Syrah. Since then we have enjoyed countless bottles of this Rhone Ranger’s Syrah, Grenache and GSM Blends.

We were especially excited a few years ago when Andrew first introduced his E11even Wines label producing mostly Bordeaux varietals. And then we tasted them and WOW! We were blown away all over again, in particular by his incredible Petit Verdot.

Not to mention the fantastic branding inspired by one of the most iconic scenes in music movie history.

Here’s how Andrew describes the genesis of this new brand:

This is a very personal project for me. You see, I adore music about as much as I love wine. I am also nostalgic for an era when music did not come on a chip, an era before auto-tune, before hi-def, when scratches and skips were a sign of a beloved album played over and over again. Informed by this all-consuming passion, my E11even label is inspired by a vintage concert ticket that I found.

It got me thinking and dreaming and scheming. It got me to here and now. The E11even wines are all estate-grown and crafted with the utmost care and precision. They truly represent the best that we can do here, on the Curtis Estate in the heart of Los Olivos.

Perhaps the most important thing that I really want you all to understand about our E11even Wines is that they are NOT some kind of second label, or declassified Andrew Murray 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 wine growing in Los Olivos and represent the VERY best barrels that we craft each year.

Some may ask, “Why E11even?” We think we are one better than “10”, always pushing the envelope in order to grow and craft the best wine possible. While others may settle to be a “10”, we strive to be better, we yearn to be an “11”! Oh, and Yes, the name is also inspired by one of my favorite movies, “Spinal Tap”.

Fast forward to this year when we had the chance to check out the Petit Verdot again but also the incredible Petite Sirah and we just knew we had to find a way to introduce them to you.

Retailing for around $40 we were hoping to be able to be able to get at least a small discount for you on these wines but incredibly we’ve been able to secure them at over XX% off!! This is an amazing deal for wines of this quality and one that is not likely to be repeated.

In our opinion, this is the single best deal we’ve offered throughout this entire year (and we’ve had some fantastic ones).

If you’re a fan of dark, big, rich and grippy wines with tons and tons of depth, this is a deal you do not want to miss.

Let’s take a look at that wonderful single vineyard Petit Verdot first, which comes from the estate Curtis Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley. You will receive two bottles in today’s 4-pack.

From the winery:

Our Petit Verdot is 100% Estate grown, which lies within the borders of the Santa Ynez Valley AVA and sits at a slightly higher elevation, above the fog layer. The Santa Ynez AVA is a long, east-west corridor with very cool temperatures on the coast that become progressively warmer inland, which allows for a wide variety of grapes and styles to flourish. Petit Verdot one of our favorites to craft each vintage, despite it being misunderstood as a blending grape. While it does improve a variety of blends, we prefer it all by itself. The name Petit Verdot translates to “little green one” due to its tendency ripen late in the season. 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. We aged this wine for 20 months in 20% new French Oak as well as an additional 6-month aging in bottle before release.

The 2020 Andrew Murray E11even Petit Verdot pours fantastically dark and inky in the glass, which is the first sign you’re in for a treat.

It opens with lovely ripe dark fruit aromas that have so much depth you can smell it! Spice, licorice, a little vanilla, leather and tobacco all also combine wonderfully.

The wine tastes rich, juicy and deep with well-integrated spice and all those other touches from the nose adding enjoyment. Once you taste this you’ll wonder why you never see Petit Verdot as a single varietal! Featuring a smooth, mouth-coating texture this is just an absolute joy to drink. It’s loaded with so much flavor it’s hedonistically good but it also still has great balance, structure and acidity. And it all gets even better after a couple of hours of air.

It ends with a dry, extremely long, chewy, lip-smacking, dynamic finish with a little long-lasting chalkiness under all the delicious dark fruit and spice. It was just as good on day 2 – if you can make the bottle last that long!

Up next we’ve got the wonderful single vineyard Petite Sirah, which comes from the Rock Hollow Vineyard in the Los Olivos District AVA. You will receive two bottles in today’s 4-pack.

From the winery:

Our vineyard site for our E11even Petite Sirah is located within the Los Olivos District AVA. It shares a common boundary with Ballard Canyon AVA on the west side, and a boundary with the Happy Canyon AVA on the east side, distinguished by its uniform topography, geology, and soil type. Petite Sirah is a very thick-skinned grape, with intense depth of color and full tannic structure. We ferment in large, open top tanks for a gentler, softer level of extraction. After fermentation is finished, we leave the wines on skins for another week, which allows the tannins to soften and integrate. We then transfer the wine to barrels for 20 months of aging in 25% New French oak. We then allow the wine to slowly develop in bottle for nearly a year before finally releasing it. 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. Don’t be afraid to hide this bottle from yourself for a year or two, as it has aging potential for 10 years and beyond!

The 2020 Andrew Murray E11even Petite Sirah also pours wonderfully dark and inky in the glass. It also presents an amazing array of attractive aromas like dark berry fruit, lots of spice, licorice, leather, some lovely floral notes, chocolate, coffee and vanilla. This one has it all and manages to combine them quite harmoniously.

Wow! This tastes big, rich and tannic yet is still very drinkable. As the winery notes this has an aging potential of 10+ years and they are absolutely right. Fantastic now, it will be very interesting to see how it tastes every couple of years for the next decade or so. (It’s one of our favorite experiments – opening the same wine every year or every 2 years just to see how it has developed.)

It features all those same flavors from the nose wrapped up in smooth yet chewy mouthfeel. And while it’s fantastic right at pop and pour, it’s even better after a couple hours of air. (Patience is greatly rewarded.)

It ends dry, very long, dark, juicy and grippy and was just as good on day 2. This is over the top delicious!
