Hope Family Wines
Paso Robles
This storied wine has been a staple on dinner tables for more than 40 years. The warm rich ruby colour fills your glass along with aromas of vanilla bean, fresh cedar, and dense black currants. On the palate, earthy notes mingle with crushed pepper corn, sweet oak and dark fruit. This medium bodied wine is balanced with dusty tannins and a lingering finish.
Viticulture
To craft Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon, we work closely with over fifty family farmers whose sole goal is to grow grapes of superior quality. In the Paso Robles region, Cabernet Sauvignon is known for its ripe fruit flavours and supple tannins. The diversity of microclimates throughout the various vineyards contributes to excellent depth and complex flavours in the glass.
Vinification
Cabernet Sauvignon is harvested and fermented individually by vineyard lots and then barrelled into a combination of French and American oak barrels, 10% of which are new. The wine is racked twice during barrel-aging and gently filtered just prior to bottling. The 2020 Liberty School Cabernet was aged for 14 months in oak, blended in early winter of 2021 and bottled in January of 2022.
