Mouton Noir Knock on Wood 2011

Knock on Wood is procured from hillside vineyards in Yamhill-Carlton AVA. This wine is reminiscent of the grand crus of Burgundy's Cote-d'Or, a lean mean wine. Perfume of honeydew melon and pear surfing huge waves of minerals, bringing a nice tide of racy starfruit to the finish.

100% Chardonnay. Mouton Noir is a two-fold lifestyle project producing both a T-shirt line and Oregon wines. Founded by sommelier Andre Hueston Mack in 2007, both ends of Mouton Noir incorporate a trademark attitude and personal perspective on wine subculture. The wines are unique and distinctive garage wines, initially created for some of New York's best restaurants for whom Mack was a sommelier and now available nationwide. Mouton Noir apparel is inspired by the wine lifestyle/street culture of skateboarding, punk, and hip-hop. The design is also reminiscent of independent skateboard company apparel of the 1990s.
