The 1998 Eloge (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Merlot) possesses an evolved, complex nose offering sweet black cherry and currant fruit intermixed with earth, graphite, tobacco leaf, cedar, and spice. Medium-bodied, velvety-textured, harmonious, and concentrated, it should drink well for 15+ years. Tel. (707) 963-8600; fax (707) 963-7818
