Liberty School began in the 1970s as a value‑driven Cabernet project created by the Wagner family of Caymus. In the late 1980s, the Wagners partnered with the Hope family, who were already farming in Paso Robles. The relationship deepened over time, and in 1996 the Hope family acquired the Liberty School label, bringing production fully to Paso Robles.

Today, Liberty School is positioned as Hope Family Wines’ accessible, everyday Cabernet and Chardonnay brand, emphasizing honest, fruit‑driven Central Coast wines sourced from dozens of family‑owned vineyards. It remains one of the foundational labels in the Hope portfolio, alongside Austin Hope and Treana.

This Reserve Cabernet elevates the Liberty School legacy and displays a rich garnet color that fills your glass. On the nose, vanilla bean and spicy herbaceous nuances set the stage for the robust flavors on the pallet. Fresh cherry and black currant notes are balanced by herbaceous notes of peppercorns, and hints of earth. On the finish, the tannins are firm yet supple, and round out this medium-bodied wine.
