Jason Parkes Customs Gobsmacked Cyclops Love 2016
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe 2016 sounds as if it gobsmacked winemaker Jason Parkes who calls it “At once, fat and rich but also blessed with laser-like acidity.” The latest blend is muscat and pinot auxerrois with a twist of gewürztraminer giving it, yet again, a nod to the Alsace Edelzwicker style. Indeed, it’s aromatic and ripe but with fresh, floral fruit and enough minerality to draw you back into the glass time after time. The colourful ‘kid’ label is courtesy of Jason’s 7-year-old daughter. Jason suggests you serve it with hotdogs on the beach and we can’t wait.Tasted: 12 February 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $19.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private retail, restaurants |
