Buried Cane 2008 Heartwood Red (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $25

This Rhône red puts lots of toasty goodness around light fruit from a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Counoise grapes. Soft and generous, it starts with watermelon and ends with black cherries, all coated with mocha and cinnamon. What’s not to like? — P.G. (9/1/2011)

Buried Cane 2009 Single Leaf Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $14

Just barely perceptible residual sugar, along with plenty of acidity, keeps this on the edge of dry. A pretty, floral nose introduces a palate with mango, peach and cinnamon-dusted pear fruit. Nicely balanced with good concentration and length. — P.G. (9/1/2011)

points

Buried Cane 2008 Pinot Grigio

Price $15

Light and juicy, with fresh apple flavors and good acidity. A good wine for serving chilled and enjoying outdoors. — P.G. (10/1/2010)

points

Buried Cane 2009 Whiteline No Oak Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $14

A good, clean, tart and lightly spicy all-stainless style. Cool climate fruit puts the accent on lime and lemon flavors, keeps the alcohol low (13.3%), and makes this a fine match to shellfish, white fish and light pasta dishes. — P.G. (9/1/2011)

points

Buried Cane 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon

Price $13

Though labeled varietally, almost a quarter of the blend is Malbec, along with a two percent splash of Syrah. Herbal and showing scents of stem along with peppery black fruits, this tannic and inexpensive red would be a fine match for a pot roast or stew. Black olive and smoke flavors weave into the finish. — P.G. (5/1/2011)

points

Buried Cane 2006 Chardonnay

Online Exclusive

Price $17

This is simple, pleasant, with whispers of melon, apple and even celery, set against light acids and herbs. — P.G. (3/1/2009)

points

Buried Cane 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

Online Exclusive

Price $17

For its introductory Washington Cabernet Sauvignon, Buried Cane (a new brand from Vintage New World) seems to have modeled itself on a modest Bordeaux. Astringent, smoky and showing a fair amount of green tannin, this dry and herbal wine has the muscle to show well with grilled meats, burgers, even steak. On its own, it’s a bit tiring, with a lot of herbal character. — P.G. (3/1/2009)

points

Buried Cane 2008 Chardonnay

Online Exclusive

Price $12

There’s a lightly spritzy tickle in the mouth, and a metallic undertaste to this Chardonnay. The blend includes 5% each Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc, all done in stainless steel. Thin and a bit green, it does not quite come together. — P.G. (5/1/2011)
