25% off of a case (12 bottles) of our 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon featuring Nathanael Greene on the label.
(wine club members get their discount ON TOP of the sales price!)

Join Wine Club for maximum discount.

Tasting Notes: Imbued with a deep garnet hue, this hand-harvested, limited production Cab has a ripe palate of blackberries, currants and cassis with herbal notes in the aroma and subtle hints of menthol and spearmint.  Full-bodied with structured tannins and good acidity, the wine has velvet mouthfeel with a strong backbone. 
Pairing ideas:  Grilled meats, duck with fruit, lamb, sharp flavorful cheeses, dark chocolate.

SHIPPING UNIVERSE

Expanded Shipping Options

In time for holiday personal and business gift giving, we are pleased to announce that we've partnered with VinoShipper to broaden our shipping to 30 additional states (map red) - 41 in all!  We are working to integrate the new platform but wanted to launch now for the holiday season.
We'd love to be your wine gift source for 2024 and the wine at your holiday soirées - stay tuned for more specials and gift packs!

The website is in transition but the key is the state you're shipping to :
If shipping to CA, CO, DC, FL, MA, MN, MT, NY, TX, OR, WA, no change, click here.

Details:
As you might know, compliance for alcohol shipping is a 50 state gauntlet with each state having different licenses, fees, taxes, and reporting deadlines.  Liberty has its own license in CA, CO, DC, FL, MA, MN, MT, NY, TX, OR, and WA. 
The new VinoShipper alliance enables us to ship to AK, AZ, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MO, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, VT, WI, WV, WY as well.

A Wonderful (and Lengthy!) Harvest

We picked half of the Sauvignon Blanc plants on Sunday August 25th ... and finished with the Cab on Halloween - most extended ever, thanks to gyrating temps!

Many vineyards reported lower yields (fewer tons per acre), attributed to a late frost and some heat spikes this summer.  We were pleased to have a bountiful crop for Sauv Blanc, Malbec, and Cab, normal yields in all others with the exception of Zin - which was a smaller crop than last year, but still great looking fruit!

For more pics, videos, and updates, please follow us on Insta, Facebook, and X/Twitter.

History Dates:
December 5th:  End of Prohibition Day
December 15th: Bill of Rights Day
December 16th: Boston Tea Party anniversary

 

Saúde !! (Portugues toast)
