Maison Noir Wines, OPP Pinot Noir, 2023

Maison Noir Wines, founded by sommelier André Hueston Mack, is all about making serious wines with an approachable, laid-back attitude. OPP (Other People’s Pinot) is a classic expression of Oregon Pinot Noir, blending fruit from top sites across the Willamette Valley. The 2023 vintage showcases everything that makes Oregon Pinot special—freshness, purity, and a balance of richness and elegance. Bursting with raspberry, cherry, and cranberry, the wine is lifted by notes of baking spice, earthy forest floor, and a hint of floral perfume. The palate is silky and vibrant, with fine tannins and bright acidity keeping it lively. Perfect on its own or paired with roast chicken, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto, this is an easygoing yet well-crafted Pinot that overdelivers in both charm and drinkability.
