The Wine
Exotic and spicy aromatics, with brambly fruits; exploding palate with flavors of blackberry compote, cassis accented by vanilla bean, and baking spices; this wine shows classic Eola-Amity texture and length.
Lamb of God embodies the boldness of the Eola-Amity Hills, one of the most distinguished AVAs in the Willamette Valley. Since our philosophy on oak has been to use it as a seasoning agent and not a weapon, this wine is aged in two- to three-year-old barrels.
The Winery
Maison Noir Wines, founded by iconoclastic sommelier Andre Hueston Mack in 2007, incorporates his trademark attitude and personal perspective on wine subculture. The wines are unique and distinctive garage wines, sourcing the best fruit possible in the Willamette Valley region of Oregon to produce wines which show the individuality of their respective sites and terroirs.
