2007 Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2007 Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon hails from Paso Robles, California. The Liberty is available at Costco for $8.00 after a coupon discount and it clocks in at 13.5% ABV. According to the winemaker, the wine spent some time in American and French oak barrels (10% new) and was blended three months before bottling.

Right off the bat, I was greeted by the Liberty's inky purple color. The nose exhibited a lot of fruit (mainly berries?) with a tiny hint of spice. It's a very fruity wine with good mouth feel and silky tannins. The finish was a little shorter than expected.

The verdict: For $8 dollars, the Liberty is a great value. It's very approachable now and would have the most appeal for individuals who gravitate towards very fruit forward cabernets.
