2006 Liberty School Cabernet, Paso Robles

Let me start with the disclaimer that I have a head cold.  This is how I ended up drinking the Liberty School in the first place.  A regular feature on restaurant wine lists, it retails in the $10 range and is very popular.  In fact, it's my dad's favorite "everyday" wine.  I didn't want to splurge on a wine I might not be able to taste, but we were having a steak and cabernet sauvignon seemed in order. 

This wine really held up.  Even to someone with a cold, this wine came off as rich, elegant, and velvety.  I have NO idea what it smelled like, sadly, but my husband said it had a nice, dark cherry aroma. We were both sad to see the bottle end.

Anyway, since I have a head cold, take my tasting notes for what they're worth - but at $10, you can try it for yourself without much risk.  As for me, I'll be getting a few more bottles for cold and flu season.
