Jason Parkes Customs Gobsmacked Cyclops Love 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis idiosyncratic wine blends muscat, muller thurgau and a sprinkle of gewürztraminer in 2017, the three aromatic grapes caught taut with a limey acidity that squeezes in the waist of what could otherwise be a flabby, sweet, boring wine. Instead this surprises with its nervy acidity ruling, and the scented melon, perfumed florals, yellow apple and soft spices playing a background role. This tidy medium bodied, oily white would be a killer wine with Thai or Vietnamese dishes. The front label, drawn by Jason Parkes' nine year old daughter, is as beguiling as the back, a personal story about the winemaker's journey into wine. Cyclops Love is the first release of this project.Tasted: 26 September 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $19.99 | 750ml | winery direct, private retail, restaurants |
