The pinnacle Pinot of JKC's cellar, produced only in exceptional vintages and aged a minimum of five years. 

2018 was a warm growing year that gave thick skins and ample ripeness to the grapes. The result was wine of immense frame and structure in its early years, and now that fruit density is beginning to mellow, with plenty of remaining stuffing to further age. 

J.K. Carriere’s elegant Vespidae Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is the cornerstone cuvée of the winery, built for age and to pair with food, seamless and balanced. 

Antoinette, named after the winemaker's grandmother, is the most elegant of our single-vineyard Limited Bottlings, with grapes from the high-elevation Temperance Hill Vineyard. 

The red nature of Gemini Vineyard fruit is persistent, delivering serious acid, concentrated cherry fruit and opulent texture to this single-vineyard Limited Bottling. 

Our acclaimed JKC estate Pinot reveals both sides of the coin, structured as well as juicy.
