Owner & winemaker Jim Prosser really loves Pinot Noir. He learned the trade by working for eight great producers in four countries, including Erath, Domaine Drouhin, Brick House, and Chehalem in Oregon; Villa Maria in New Zealand; Tarra Warra and T'Gallant in Australia; and Domaine Georges Roumier in Burgundy. In addition to site-specific Pinot, J.K. Carriere (a combination of grandfathers' names) produces this annual unfined/unfiltered blend of vineyards. Provocateur 2022 is built from St. Dolores Estate, Gemini Vineyard, and Temperance Hill, fermented with wild yeast and aged for one year in oak (19% new French). Whether you're a fan of Burgundy, California, or Oregon Pinot, Provocateur will please all palates with its brooding style, balancing dark and bright cherry acidity against earthy/savory notes of sweet spice and dried meat alongside candied fruit and cocoa.
