Profile & Story

J.K. Carriere is a Willamette Valley, Oregon winery founded in 1999 by Jim Prosser on the St. Dolores Estate hilltop in Newberg, focused on high-acid, classically built Pinot Noir. Provocateur is the winery's entry-tier Pinot Noir, a blend from vineyards across the Willamette Valley. The wine undergoes small-lot wild-yeast fermentation, is aged one year in French oak (about 6% new), and is bottled unfined and unfiltered; 13.5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Producer tasting notes describe Provocateur's nose as cherry-raspberry-guava with a hint of warm tan oak spice, and a palate that moves from ripe cherry-peach into darker, savory notes of grilled meat, soy, and graham.
