Comments: This has become one of my all-time favorites in the Cab category. For smoothness in a cab its tough to beat this wine. It truly is unoffensive allowing you to serve it to just about any level of wine drinker and they will probably enjoy it. The vanilla and cherry flavors in this wine make it very tasty but don’t be fooled, its not a sweet wine. It fits the dry category but these other tastes smooth the edges of what can sometimes be pretty sharp in a Cabernet Sauvignon.

The same producer also makes a Syrah that I’ve not tried yet but look forward to checking out.

Look here for a couple of other reviews on this Liberty School Cabernet Sauvignon.

To digress slightly on the ‘unoffensive” remark, in my opinion many non-blend wines such as Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah can have a very strong flavor. For someone that doesn’t drink wine often this can sometimes be overpowering and cause newbies not to like it. When I say unoffensive I mean that its very smooth and most likely won’t overpower even the novice wine drinker.
