2021 Spymaster Series "Homecoming" 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 5 Homecoming: Bitner spent a year after the war helping establish the future of Europe before finally heading home to his wife, Dottie.

TASTING NOTES

Aromas of cherry and rose lead to flavors of black currant, pomegranate, and chocolate. This is a full- bodied wine with bold, tongue- coating tannins and notes of toasty oak, cherry, and leather on the finish. This wine's high acidity and big tannins will pair well with hearty tomato- based stews, pheseant with citrus glaze, fatty pork shanks, or pasta dishes with classic red sauce.
