This is the remarkable vintage that started the Dedication vertical. During the harvest of 2000, one of our fermentors took on the most intense, inky character I had ever observed from our estate vineyards as early as the second day of fermentation. With the broad structure this wine possessed early on, I realized that it should be balanced with more oak complexity. We took the bold move and put it all in 100% new French Oak. Once I established that the Schweiger Vineyard's “traditional label” Cabernet Sauvignon would surpass the quality of previous vintages, I bottled this one small lot by itself. The proprietary name Dedication was chosen to reflect our attitude toward maintaining our estate vineyards and crafting our wines…Dedication. Dedication is not made with every vintage, only when the right conditions warrant.
On the nose, the 2000 Dedication offers rich blackberry, currant, and loads of jammy fruit with faint seasonings of oak, herbs, and minerals. A core of sweetness emerges from the ripeness of our small-berried hillside fruit. 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.
