Wanted to get drunk under the guise of learning more about the 2012 vintage of Oregon pinots. Mission accomplished. This is some yummy shit!

Purple color. Red strawberry jelly nose with hint if spice. Fleshy wild strawberry palate with nice acidity. Lingering finish. Hedonistic. $30

Big for Prosser, but that's what 2012 gave everyone. A crowd pleaser, but still typical JK Carriere with a touch of funk, good acid and soft tannins.

For the money, hands down in my top 10 for Oregon Pinot Noirs under $30. Love what Prosser does with minimal intervention--allows the fruit to express itself on its own. Beautiful color, rich with a perfect balance of acidity and fruit. Dark rich black raspberry with earthiness.

Dark, brooding Oregon Pinot. Great interplay of earthy mushroom & dark forest berries. Seems like it was made for smoked salmon.

J. K. Carriere, Provocateur Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. A darker Pinot. More black than red fruit A hint of new oak and just a little tannic. I expected more, good not great.
