2020 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
Earthy aromas of bark and forest floor lead to flavors of black cherry, French roast coffee, and a hint of cola. This is a full-bodied Cabernet with very round and approachable tannins yet a fairly viscous mouth feel. On the finish, flavors of blackberry jam are complemented by notes of burnt sugar and vanilla. This is a great porch wine and doesn't need food to be enjoyed with but if you must, try it with cast iron steaks, braised beef, hard cheeses, or brisket.
