♫ “On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me … Two Buried Canes and a cab from Paso Robleez (Robles).” ♫
2008 Buried Cane Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley, Washington … $13.99
What a nice treat, and the exact opposite in style of the Justin. Aromas of green beans, mocha, blackberries and hits of mint. Old school on the palate with notes of green beans, cherry juice and anise. Interesting bittersweet chocolate notes come through on the mid-palate with hints of red currants. The finish is soft and pleasing. This is a great cab to match up with beef and a nice switch from the fruit forward versions that are all over the market. Each has a place and this one belongs with a meal. 89+ points
