The name “In Sheep’s Clothing” is a hat tip to Alonzo Harris in Training Day: “to protect the sheep you gotta catch the wolf, and it takes a wolf to catch a wolf.” It reflects André Hueston Mack’s approach — classic Oregon fruit and transparent technique, a wolf in a still white’s clothing.

Maison Noir sources from multiple Willamette Valley vineyards across the Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, and Yamhill-Carlton AVAs. The 2022 vintage was a return to classic Oregon conditions — a cool spring followed by a warm, dry October that preserved acidity while pushing fruit to full ripeness. Fermentation and aging take place entirely in stainless steel: no oak, no buffer, just clean varietal character.
