Taste: In the glass, the color is translucent yellow, edged with green highlights. Aromas begin with lemon curd and key lime, unfolding into jasmine, orange blossom, and subtle stone. The palate carries a yellow fruit framed by fresh green acidity, tapering into floral tones.
Pairing: To pair this wine with food, keep these five general rules in mind: balance richness with acidity; highlight citrus, herbs, and floral tones; lean toward lighter proteins; consider texture; and remember that salt and umami are friends.
About: J.K. Carriere is based in Newberg, within Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where founder and winemaker Jim Prosser has shaped the estate into one of the valley’s distinctive small producers. The winery was established in 1999, named after Jim’s grandfathers J.K. Prosser and Paul Carriere, as a nod to the family’s influence on his path.
