Maison Noir Other People's Pinot Noir 2017
No doubt inspired by 90’s rap band Naughty By Nature’s hit, O.P.P., this is a tongue-in-cheek (and slightly more PC) homage to a classic.
Profile
It’s powerfully pleasing pinot from Maison Noir (formerly Mouton Noir, till Château Mouton-Routhschild, Bordeaux 1er Grand Cru giants, got a bit upset with them) is a fantastic expression of the fun side of Willamette Valley. It’s deliciously accessible, while still showing real poise and nuance. It’s seen 30% new French oak maturation, lovingly coating those bright forest berries in cinnamon spiced aromatics. There’s plenty of cellar potential, so no need to rush through drinking them, and that gorgeous forest floor character will begin to shine through, enhancing the unique terroir even further.
They only got one thing wrong with this one. It’s not other people’s, it’s yours.
Full price $55.00 from the winery on 15 July 2019.

Winemaking
Viticulture
We source our fruit from several of the finest vineyards in the Willamette Valley, it is this combination of grapes from a variety of appellations that creates a wine that is broad and complex with many layers.
Crafting
The 2017 harvest started later than the 3 previous years with a larger crop load but as a result of dropping fruit we produced wine with lush round fruit along side balance acidity! Seven day cold soak, with an additional 18 days of skin contact, fermented in stainless steel; aged in French oak 30% new oak; aged 10 months. The 2017 Other People’s Pinot is classic Oregon Pinot—earmark Willamette Valley. It is accessible; a great value; and stays true to vineyards from which it was born.
The rules are there ain’t no rules, but here are some foods we think will work pretty well with this wine...
