Liberty Creek Cabernet Sauvignon
(no vintage) California $8.00 for 1.5 L
(Red Wine)
I’ve tried to think of something great to say about Liberty Creek’s Cabernet Sauvignon. But, I just can’t.
It’s not horrible; it’s just not that good. For a Cabernet, this wine is missing some umph.
It’s higher in acidity than a lot of Cabernet and rather thin-bodied. It tastes like the wine has been watered down a bit, and the tannins left a lot to be desired as well. In fact, I had trouble locating them.
The overall flavor of this Cabernet was a bit one-dimensional and I was left feeling like someone forgot to put half of the wine’s flavor into the bottle. Does that make sense?
Bottom line, Liberty Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is not a repulsive wine and for the price, some might want to at least give it a try. But, if you are desiring a layered and full-flavored experience, don’t take a dip in Liberty Creek.
wine’s website: couldn’t find
I usually don’t leave comments!!! Trust me! But I liked your blog…especially this post! Would you mind terribly if I put up a backlink from my site to your site?
No, go ahead! So sorry this is just now being responded to.
That sounds like a pretty snobby review for an anti-wine-snob website. It’s not a great wine, but it’s very drinkable, very fruity and smooth, and much better than the big box wine cabernets. I don’t know much about tannins, but I found it very pleasant. What do you expect for $7 for a 1.5 liter bottle? I found it just great for washing down a big plate of black beans and rice and spicy spanish sausage
Do you really want to drink a $20 bottle of wine with a meal that cost $3.00?
You know, Jim, you are right! Thanks for keeping things in perspective.
I actually can get this in the big bottle size for $5.99 at my Kroger. Not sure if it’s a special or what, but I agree, it’s not repulsive and for the price it is ok by me.
Well here’s the website. But I do agree that Liberty Creek leaves something to be desired. I’d prefer a few more dollars for a more exciting wine like Woodbridge or Yellowtail.
I like this wine….I can pour myself a glass of this by itself or have it with a meal. Maybe a pot of beans or a steak, I think it is a good wine and for the price why bitch?
I just bought a 1.5L of this wine. I agree with the first post. This wine is drinkable, but it does not feel like a Cabernet. I’ll drink the whole thing for sure. By the way, I’m not a wine snob at all. I have only been drinking wine for a little over a year and still have a lot to learn. But anyway, cheers!!!
Where can I locate further information about this please? This has made my day. Good stuff
