Red Barn at Jagged Rock Parts Unknown Red Blend 2022
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Kaylee Barss, Brock University, ex-Fielding Estate Winery (Niagara), and CheckMate Artisanal Winery just across the valley, is in charge of an impressive lineup of wines made in the Okanagan, many inspired by labels from around the world. Changing blends and techniques has yielded a small group of interesting offerings that keep consumers' attention from year to year. In 2022, Parts Unknown is a 60/20/15/5 mix of barbera, cabernet franc, syrah, and viognier, and it delivers. The barbera controls the palate, bringing freshness and earthy notes to the forefront. The franc and the syrah flesh out the palate while viognier has set the medium-dark colour. The style is dry and somewhat acidic (Italian), which requires a rich fatty protein to smooth it out. You need to call the winery if you want this one.Tasted: 03 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $52.00 | 750ml | winery online/direct, select private retailers |
