The only 2006 currently on the market is the entry-level 2006 Pinot Noir Provocateur. It exhibits an expressive bouquet of cedar, spice box, and red fruits. On the palate, this medium-bodied effort has good depth of flavor and enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. It is just a bit thin in the finish, Prosser’s 2005 Pinots are among the better wines of the vintage as he was able achieve balance, a formidable task in that challenging year. Jim Prosser is the man behind the J.K. Carriere wines. Like a few of his colleagues, he prefers to hold back his upper tier wines for a year to allow further development.www.jkcarriere.com
