Buried Cane wines are named after a time-honored Washington State practice used to protect grape vines from frigid winter temperatures. Low-growing vine canes (shoots) are buried under the soil, then unearthed after winter freezes pass. Just like in Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon is the noble red grape of Washington. The hearty variety is particularly well-suited to Washington’s cold winters because of its thick wood and late blossoming. Washington’s long growing season imparts black currant, cherry and berry fruit nuances to the wine, with herbal complexities and a tannic backbone. The Buried Cane Cabernet Sauvignon is a rich, dry red with plenty of black currant, cherry and vanilla spice character.
