From: Oregon, USA
Varietal: Red Blend, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Tasting Notes: Horseshoes & Handgrenades is a fruit-driven, full-bodied complex red blend sourced from Southern Oregon and Washington State. The rich, ripe, voluptuous fruit comes from the Syrah out of the Rogue Valley in southwestern Oregon with just enough Washington Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to give it complexity and structure. Barrel-aged for 10 months. Think cherry pits and leather whips!
Maison Noir Wines was founded in 2007 by iconoclastic sommelier André Hueston Mack, a Per Se and French Laundry alumni, incorporating his trademark attitude and personal perspective on wine subculture. The wines are unique and distinctive garage wines (micro-négociant) that source the best fruit possible in the Willamette Valley region of Oregon to produce wines showing the individuality of their respective sites and terroirs.
