The 2016 Merlot Artist Reserve One Eleven is a barrel selection that spent 25 months in new barrels. This deep, powerful effort offers loads of plums, black cherries, graphite, espresso and roasted herb notes as well as a stacked profile on the palate. It's another full-bodied, powerful yet seamless wine in this lineup. Drink it over the coming two decades.
