Goodness, I seem to be on a bit of stretch of BC favourites - Burrowing Owl, Sandhill, and now La Frenz. Had the Canucks beat Chicago and made it to Round 3 of the playoffs, I was going to feature La Frenz as the series winery. Maybe the Canucks didn't make it, but I can still enjoy a bottle of La Frenz to help quell the pain.
55. 2006 La Frenz - Montage (Naramata - Okanagan)
A montage is defined as "any combination of disparate elements that forms or is felt to form a unified whole, single image, etc." This Montage is a blend of syrah, merlot and cabernet - not exactly the most common blend of grapes, either for BC or elsewhere. I'm sure there's a story behind the wine that I'd like to follow up on, particularly since I've seen it made with pinot noir in the past as well.
I don't think this wine is generally seen as one of the stars of the La Frenz cellar (not that there's a lesser wine to be found) but I like it as a nice approachable wine. Good for a Friday night watching a movie on the TV.
