Buried Cane Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Buried Cane Cabernet Sauvignon is a distinctive Columbia Valley red that takes its name from the traditional Washington vine-training method used to protect vines from harsh winter frosts. Crafted in one of the Pacific Northwest’s most respected wine regions, it offers Cabernet Sauvignon’s classic structure and depth with a story rooted in resilience and innovation.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep ruby to garnet color, often with the dense core typical of Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State. The nose tends to show dark berry fruit, blackcurrant, plum, and subtle notes of cedar, spice, and cocoa, supported by a firm, focused profile. On the palate, this wine is usually medium- to full-bodied with ripe black fruit, layered tannins, and balanced acidity that gives the wine freshness and length. It should have the structure to age well for several years, developing more complex notes of leather, tobacco, and earth over time.

Production
Sourced from Columbia Valley in Washington State, this Cabernet Sauvignon reflects a region known for warm, dry growing seasons, cool nights, and excellent conditions for producing concentrated yet balanced red wines. The Buried Cane name refers to a unique viticultural practice developed in cold climates, where a cane is buried during the growing season so it can be used to regenerate the vine if winter frost damages the top growth. This practical approach helps preserve vine health in challenging vintages and underlines the wine’s strong connection to Washington’s winemaking tradition.

Food & Serving
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, braised beef, venison, and hearty dishes with mushrooms or black pepper. It also works well with aged cheddar or other firm cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if young to soften the tannins and open up the aromatics.
