2021 Love & Squalor Reserve Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley

The 2021 Reserve Pinot Noir from Love & Squalor in Willamette Valley, Oregon opens with a rich and expressive nose of black raspberry, cocoa-dusted plum, and worn cedar, giving a glimpse of its fuller-bodied intent.

On the palate the wine offers vibrant red fruit energy with wild cherry and bramble, all framed by sleek, fine tannins and vibrant acidity. A subtle earthy minerality weaves through the mid-palate, while the finish is sustained, focused, and engaging.

Crafted from select barrels, this Reserve presents a more concentrated, refined side of Willamette Pinot Noir and is drinking beautifully now while also promising graceful development over the next three to five years. It pairs beautifully with herb-roasted duck, seared pork tenderloin with mushrooms, or a rustic aged cheese course for a truly satisfying experience.
