Tasting Notes: red grapefruit • currant • oak

The 2021 Dirty Reserve Pinot Noir captivates with a nose that is both intriguing and complex. Leather notes mingle with hints of licorice root, creating an aroma that is reminiscent of a well-worn leather armchair in a dimly lit library. Delicate violet undertones add a touch of floral elegance. We  call this wine Dirty due to the minimal filtration style we’ve chosen to showcase all the goodness that comes from the New Mexico Pinot Noir grapes. On the palate, notes of red grapefruit offer a vibrant acidity infusing the wine with a refreshing brightness to  awaken the senses. Red currant adds a subtle sweetness, balancing the tartness of the grapefruit with its luscious fruitiness. Oak undertones provide a hint of warmth and depth, rounding out the palate with a touch of complexity.
