Date Tasted: June 1st, 2011
Tasting Notes: The acid-filled grapes of the 2010 vintage isn't the coziest of bedfellows for the "Peaches'n'Cream" styled Chardonnay released from Naramata Bench's La Frenz Winery each year. One loses a bit of the sultry, lightly oaked, fruit-forward splendor of the 2009 and 2008 releases when the balance is swayed towards "tart" and the texture is thinned. Yet, an off-year for La Frenz still produces a highly quaffable and enjoyable drink - one to be shared with friends on a hot deck, or later into the evening paired with a cream-based pasta sauce dish. Drink 2011-2013.
