Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesLiberty School Cabernet Sauvignon is a Paso standard and one that, over time, winemaker Austin Hope says they have worked hard to reign in the alcohol and, more importantly, build texture and weight with denser, softer tannins shearing the rustic moniker from the wine. Simply put, the back end of this flavourful cabernet has less bitterness and more smoothness that belies its price. Only 10% new oak, Liberty School comes from more than 50 growers in the Paso AVA. It is aged for 15 months in oak. You can expect a full bodied cabernet sauvignon with lush black and red fruits and a hint of savoury vanilla. It is ready to drink with almost any beef dish off the grill.Tasted: 23 May 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
