"Another big, rich, opulent 2022, the 2022 No 11 offers a smorgasbord-like array of red, black, and blue fruits as well as pepper, herbes de Provence, violets, and cured meats. It's heavenly stuff on the palate and is full-bodied, with a round, deep, full-bodied mouthfeel and velvety tannins. Based on 91% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre, and 3% Viognier, aging in 65% new oak, I suspect it’s going to drink nicely right out of the gate (that’s the vintage) yet, nevertheless, evolve gracefully for 15 years or more given its concentration and balance." - 96-98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2022 No. 11 barrels out with ready-to-go notes of boysenberry preserves, crushed blackberries, and star anise, plus hints of garrigue and underbrush. Full-bodied, the palate has a firm, very fine-grained texture and wonderful freshness framing the generous black fruits, finishing long with a savory lift. The 2022 No. 11 is composed of 91% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre, and 3% Viognier, vinified used 45% whole cluster. It was aged for 22 months in French oak barriques, 65% new. 850 cases were made." - 97 Points, Wine Independent

"The 2022 No. 11 is a blend of 91% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre and 3% Viognier sourced from various Santa Barbara County sites and the Slide Hill estate vineyard. In keeping with the winemaking style at Andremily, the nose is extremely ripe and luxurious, driven primarily by endless opaque fruits but supported by camphor, grilled meat, pipe tobacco and vanilla bean aromas. The palate is much the same as the other red wines: incredibly dense, with full-bodied texture and hard-to-fathom richness, leading to a similarly saturating, long finish of ripe fruit flavors, oak and hints of lining acidity." - 94 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
