2022 Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon

Hope Family Wines

Paso Robles

This tried-and-true Cabernet has been a dinner table staple for more than 40 years. A rich ruby hue fills the glass along with aromas of fresh vanilla, lush red fruit and herbaceous nuances. On the palate, bright cherry notes mingle with warm cocoa and sweet oak. The finish is unbelievably smooth with soft, gorgeous tannins.


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.
