<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Our 2005 Dedication™
marks the third release of our bordelaise project. This wine is a complex and
fruity blend incorporating the four most common varietals used in this style of
wine; Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc.<span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The blending to create
such a wine is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of a winemakers
job.<span style=""> </span>On the nose, the 2005
Dedication™ offers rich blackberry, currant, plum and loads of jammy fruit with
faint seasonings of oak, herbs, and minerals.<span style=""> </span>A velvety core of lush red fruit emerges from the ripeness
of our small-berried hillside fruit.<span style="">
</span>This generously proportioned wine expands as it moves through the palate
with a seemingly endless finish. Ultimately, what you’ll find is the classic
Schweiger marriage of power and finesse. It’s hard to figure out what is more
fun, making this wine...or drinking it!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
