Lowell and Anne Jooste’s San Diego-area project brings us this lovely Russian River Pinot Noir, and it’s classic in every sense. Cherry, damp and dry earth savory notes, cola and spice are embraced by lively acidity that pushes the finish in a full yet elegant fashion. Gorgeous wine! A Platinum award winner at the 2017 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
