Maison Noir sources grapes from six different vineyards in Oregon throughout the Willamette Valley. Scope out these bottles we have selected for you as a great accompaniment to your next meal or outing with friends!

'Horseshoes & Handgrenades' is a big ol' red blend sourced from Southern Oregon and Red Mountain Washington. The winery calls this "rich, ripe, voluptuous," and blames that on the Oregon Syrah, accusing the Washington Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot of giving this wine complexity and structure. We´re overwhelmed but drinking it anyway. 

 

This pale Pacific Northwest rosé is composed from roughly 3/4 Chardonnay and 1/4 Pinot Noir; blending a little bit of red wine into a majority white wine is one technique for acquiring rosé's characteristic pink color. The fruit is from the Willamette Valley in Oregon; it's very light in body and tastes like dried flowers. Dry.
