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.
