Discover the bold, boundary-pushing expression of Maison Noir’s 2022 New Noir—an "orange is the new black" wine from Black celebrity sommelier‑turned‑winemaker André Hueston Mack. Crafted as a Northwest Edelzwicker, this co-fermented field blend spent 22 days on skins, uniting 50 % Gewurztraminer, 28 % Pinot Gris, 12 % Riesling, 5 % Muscat, and 5 % Pinot Blanc. The result is a full‑bodied amber wine with punch‑you‑in‑the‑face aromatics and a flavor profile that balances intrigue and approachability.
