The 2009 Pinot Noir Provocateur in which Temperance Hill fruit plays a large role. Herbal notes stop just short of being too green. Aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, and plum lead to a savory, moderately structured wine that has good balance and length. It will drink well for another 5-6 years. New father Jim Prosser is well-established in his winery on Parrot Hill in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. He is pleased by the fact that he was able to bring all of his 2009s in under 14% alcohol. Tel.
