2010 Alienor Cellars "Grand Vin" Lake County Red Wine
92
Vinous
Review Date: 05/2012Full, bright medium red. Lovely perfumed nose offers blueberry, cassis and violet. Musky, sweet and inviting, with a seamless texture to the flavors of currant, leather, chocolate and licorice. A really plush and edge-free blend, with explosive finishing flavors of red fruits and leather and ripe, lush tannins. I can't recall tasting a more promising barrel sample from Bordeaux varieties in Lake County.

Notes
Named for Aliénor d’Aquitaine, this Lake County red follows a Bordeaux-inspired model rather than a varietally labeled California bottling. Lake County’s volcanic soils and higher-elevation vineyards give producers a distinct alternative to neighboring Napa for Cabernet-family reds.
