On the nose, the 2012 Dedication™ offers rich blackberry, currant, plum and loads of jammy cherry with faint seasonings of dark chocolate, truffle oil, oak, coriandor, and minerals.  A velvety core of lush red fruit 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.

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: Our 2012 Dedication™ marks the tenth 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, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec.  Blending such a wine is one of the most fun and rewarding parts of a winemakers job.  On the nose, the 2012 Dedication™ offers rich blackberry, currant, plum and loads of jammy cherry with faint seasonings of dark chocolate, truffle oil, oak, coriandor, and minerals.  A velvety core of lush red fruit 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.
