J.K. Carriere Provocateur Pinot Noir (2023)

J.K. Carriere Provocateur Pinot Noir (2023) – Jim Prosser’s wines have a following for a reason, and Provocateur shows his approach in a more accessible format. Sourced across the Willamette Valley, this Pinot Noir brings together red fruit, spice, and a subtle savory note with a focus on texture and movement. It opens up with air and reveals more detail over time, rewarding a slower pour without demanding it. For Pinot drinkers who want something thoughtful but not overly polished, this is a compelling middle ground.
