Liberty Tavern Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

A multi award-winning single vineyard wine produced from our oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted in 1980. Low yields in the vineyard along with over 18 months of oak aging create a concentrated and robust Cabernet Sauvignon with black currant, chocolate and blackberry flavors intermingled with cedar and tobacco nuances. Balanced tannins and acid will help this wine age 10-15 years. Our reserve Cabernet is not made every year.
