One of the most recognizable wines in the world is also one of the best, year-in and year-out, with the 2017 joining the gruppo with its delightful raspberry and spice nose, leading to a sweetly balanced palate. It’s all about the fun, with depth and pleasure that will take a small crowd right to the bottom — of the bottle, of course! Try it with mild cheeses, or pound cake, or maybe poured on pound cake. Platinum Award winner at the 2018 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
