2019 Spymaster Series "The Continent" Cabernet Sauvignon
Our Spy Master Series is in dedication to our owner’s grandfather, William Bitner Browne, an American spy stationed in Europe during WWII. Each Spymaster is cut from our most premium crop, composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The name of each bottle reflects a different aspect of Bitner’s time during the war. There are five in series.
Lot 3 The Continent: It was Bitner’s time in the continent Europe that started his love of wine, thus inspiring our Bordeaux style wines today.
TASTING NOTES
Dusty aromatics of baking spices mixed with black fruit. Full- bodied, with flavors of black cherry, toasted oak, and anise. This wine has a bright acid that pushed the fruit forward with silky mouth covering tannins. Cranberries and baked apples on the finish with a hint of vanilla. This wine will pair well with foods that have comparable acids. Try it with pizza, ravioli, homemade chili and of course will pair great with steakd and wild game. Try a blueberry reduction sauce made with this wine on your steak!
