"Eloge is a Bordeaux-styled red composed of approximately two-thirds
Cabernet Sauvignon, nearly one-third Cabernet Franc, and tiny dollops
of Petit Verdot and Merlot. Aromas of soy, tea, damp earth, spicy oak,
flowers, black currants, and cherries emerge from the 2003 Eloge.
Full-bodied, powerful, complex, and broad, this gorgeous offering is
irresistible at present, and should evolve for 15+ years." Robert Parker 96 points, December 2006
"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. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Merlot and Petit Verdot, the rich, full-bodied 2003 Eloge reveals aromas and flavors of creme de cassis, licorice, Chinese black tea, earth, and spicy oak. It is an opulent, rich, full-bodied effort with savory, broad, expansive flavors that coat the palate. Although it may not have the seamlessness of the 2002, it is a beautifully made, complex red to enjoy now or cellar for 15+ years.
95+ points." Robert M. Parker, Jr., December 2005
