The Eloge, a brilliant Bordeaux-styled blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with some Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and occasionally Petit Verdot, is one of California’s most exciting proprietary reds. The 2002 Eloge (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Merlot) possesses a dense purple color in addition to sumptuous aromas of sweet black fruits, high class cigar smoke, incense, cedar, and licorice. With superb fat and purity as well as a long, seamless, full-bodied, harmonious finish, it is already appealing, but will easily age for 10-15 years. Tel. (707) 963-8600; Fax (707) 963-7818
