The 1997 Elevage reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as a complex nose of cranberry jam intermixed with cherry liqueur and black currant scents. Subtle spicy oak is noticeable in the background. Flavors of olives, cassis, and spice mingle with toasty oak in this medium-bodied, polished, elegant offering. It is a beautiful synthesis of the ripeness of California and the elegance of Bordeaux. The tannin is sweet, the acidity adequate, and the wine impressive. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. Tel. (707) 257-2641; Fax (707) 257-2036
