This week’s selection:
Winery: Liberty School
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Price Paid: $12.79
Vintage: 2006
Area: Paso Robles, CA
Alcohol: 13.5%
Purchased: Bella Vino Fine Wines
Overall: What a great everyday drinking Cab! I have had this wine in numerous vintages and it is consistently a good, easy to drink Cab that tastes like Cab. Have it with burgers or steak, it will drink nicely with either and it is a great wine to buy for the crowd.
"The Liberty School label was created in 1975 by Caymus Vineyards to absorb surplus cabernet sauvignon grapes. In 1987, after the brand became popular, the Hope family, which owned vineyards in Paso Robles, began selling cabernet grapes to Caymus. By 1995, production of Liberty School had moved to Paso Robles, and within four years, a Central Coast chardonnay and syrah had been introduced. Liberty School is now a label under the umbrella of Hope Family Wines, which includes Treana, Austin Hope and Candor."
By the way, I recently had a bottle of the 2007 Caymus and it was spectacular.

If your looking for something for daily consumption, this is about as good as it gets in the $10 range.
Very nice balance of fruit and spice, subtle oak on the finish, soft tannins.

A surprisingly good wine for the price - best cab I have had in that price range
