J.K. Carriere
J.K. Carrière is the project of winemaker Jim Prosser, a Willamette Valley pioneer who left a career in science to make some of Oregon's most thoughtfully crafted Pinot Noir. Prosser farms with minimal intervention and a decidedly Burgundian sensibility — translating site character rather than imposing a house style. His wines are consistently lauded for their precision and age-worthiness, punching well above their price point. Pick up a bottle of the 'Glass' Pinot for an accessible entry into his range, or seek out the single-vineyard bottlings for something more serious.
Style profile
A Newberg producer founded in 1999, now centered on its certified organic St. Dolores Estate vineyard, crafting minimal-intervention Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with wild yeast fermentation, early picking for high acidity, and unfined/unfiltered bottling across multiple tiers from entry-level to limited releases.
