The 2018 Malbec emerges into the Eleven Eleven portfolio from the Destin Vineyard. Planted
in 2015, these young vines are well beyond their years with power showing at every turn. At
first glance it shows its intensity with dark purple and blue hues followed by gorgeous
aromatics of ripe dark fruit with undertones of graphite. On the palate this exhilarating wine
offers striking juicy flavors of blueberry, plum, blackberry, brown sugar and cloves. The finish
follows through with silky tannins. As an inaugural release this powerhouse shows surprising
restraint in all the right places. A bottling that can be enjoyed now or cellared for future
enjoyment.
Winemaker: Kirk Venge
“Malbec is the quintessential silver bullet of the cellar. Gorgeous black color, fumy blue fruit
aromatics, ripe tannins and a gravity in the mouth unlike any other. Often these wines can be
quite monolithic by nature but with some finessing in the cellar, and always crafted with
creative and gentle handling, this release will certainly be a welcome addition to the cellars of
11:11 afficionados.”

Balanced Pairings
This young and bold wine will be a perfect match with Argentinian steak and a Chimichurri
sauce or a classic blue cheeseburger. For a lighter option try stuffed red peppers with a wild
rice and mushroom filling. To finish, pair it with a variety of soft and hard cheeses with
boundless flavor.
