From still White Mourvèdre to sparkling Lemberger, we like giving you something different to pour. Five Eleven wines are featured in Anthony Mueller’s “Fire, Flood, and Basalt: The Definitive 2026 Washington Wine Report,” with our 2024 White Mourvedre leading the lineup at 89+ points.
The report covers more than 1,000 wines and explores the vineyards, growing conditions, and people behind Washington wine. We’re pleased to see several sides of Eleven represented in its reviews.
Our 2024 White Mourvedre received 89+ points, with Mueller highlighting its lemon notes, mineral character, refreshing acidity, and structure. It’s a still white wine made from a dark-skinned grape, and a favorite for introducing guests to another side of Mourvedre.
The 2022 Bubbly LEM earned 89 points. This sparkling Lemberger caught his attention for its red fruit, lively acidity, and complexity. His closing thought made us smile: “Fun, fresh, and free, this wine truly makes me happy.”
Our 2024 Bubbly Blanc received 88 points, with notes of peach, lemon candy, and yellow apple. The 2023 Malbec also earned 88 points, described as fresh and approachable with red fruit and subtle spice. Rounding out the lineup, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon received 86 points.
These are critic scores rather than competition medals, offering one reviewer’s perspective on each wine. For us, the pleasure is seeing some of our less conventional bottles get a place in the conversation.
Thank you to Anthony Mueller for tasting our wines and including Eleven in the report. And thank you to everyone who joins us with an open mind and a willingness to try something new. Your next favorite might be a grape you already know, poured a little differently.
