La Frenz
Rockyfeller Vyd Naramata Bench Cabernet Sauvignon
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
Medium-bodied with soft tannins. Blackberry and black fruits dominate with hints of savoury herb and coffee in the finish.

Many Naramata producers source their cab grapes off-bench from down Oliver way and while I admire La Frenz for putting together a fully made-in-Naramata package, this wine is somewhat green. That brings out more herbal notes which I can get behind as interesting to a point. A cool weather cab is hard to endorse for elegance though. I don't know if the appeal here will be universally appreciated, but definitely a product of its terroir, and good for La Frenz for embracing local.
