About This Wine:

Eloge, meaning "praiseworthy" in French.

In the heart of the Napa Valley, just 3 miles easy of St. Helena, Conn Creek flows out of Howell Mountain through Conn Valley. It is here that the Anderson family grows the red Bordeaux varietal grapes that are blended in the classic Bordeaux style to produce this "praiseworthy" wine.

After a controlled fermentation, the wines are pressed, racked, and placed in 225 liter French oak barrels for as long as 22 months before being bottle unfined and unfiltered. The wines are then bottle-aged for antoher year before being released. Even thouh they will benefit from further aging, you can enjoy them on release. Observe the beautiful color, smell the rich bouquet, enjoy this fine wine and taste why we are so justly proud.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 95+ Points:
"The 2006 Eloge’s dark plum/ruby color is followed by a sweet kiss of plum, black cherry, earth, licorice, and spice box, a medium to full-bodied wine, abundant tannin, and impressive concentration, purity, and overall complexity. Reasonably evolved, and extremely seductive aromatically, with a slightly structured finish, it can be enjoyed now and over the next 15 years. It is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot, and 3% Merlot.

Todd Anderson and his winemaker, Mac Sawyer, are on top of their game at this backwater winery tucked away in Conn Valley, a few miles east of the Meadowood Resort. Anderson’s Conn Valley Vineyards became famous because of their long-lived, impressive 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from their estate vineyards in Conn Valley. They have added two brilliant proprietary reds, the Right Bank (usually dominated by Merlot with the balance Cabernet Franc), and the Eloge, a wine that is based on a French Medoc with two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Conn Valley’s wine possesses a distinctive singularity as there is not another wine in Napa that is reminiscent of them."

The 2005 vintage received 96 Points from Robert Parker!
