2009 Eleven Red Blend 750ml 4-Pack

The Eleven Red is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from the warmer reaches of Santa Ynez plus a bit of Tempranillo and Sangiovese from Oak Savanna Vineyard.  The Cabs are the two lead guitarists…each vying for a lead solo, but rather finding harmony.  They lend a bit of cassis and earthy spice to this rich red blend.  The Tempranillo and the Sangio are the rhythm section…backing up and bracing up the Cabs with high notes of smoky tar and rose petals.  Just as this blend was being finished, the winemaker noticed that something was missing: it needed some Cow Bell. A bit of Grenache was added to complete this rock ballad.  This blend definitely goes to e11even!
