Liberty School 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon

The Winery: Liberty School (from Hope Family Wines)
The Wine: 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon
The Price: $16.00

Liberty School is one of Hope Family Wines from Paso Robles, California. The wine is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 5% Syrah; all from the Paso Robles AVA. The wine was aged in 10% new French and American Oak and 90% neutral French and American Oak barrels.

The wine was capped with a natural cork. It was decanted an hour before tasting.

The Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon is an extremely dark ruby color. It has aromas of blackberry, cherry, cassis, and black pepper. It has flavors of tart cherry, blackberry, vanilla and a slight hint of cinnamon.

This is a very good wine. At $16, it is a bargain for a wine of this quality.
