Misc. Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain 2022

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignons from Misc. Wines are our new end-all-be-all! And with only 50 cases made of each AVA, it'll be a short but sweet ride...

Grant Long Jr. has spent his entire career in the wine business. His approach to his craft comes from a very personal perspective, putting commitment far above all other considerations. He is the proprietor and winemaker behind Aonair, which has become highly regarded and sought after. So much so, that he sells almost every bottle directly which caused the out-of-state markets to call and ask him to make a second brand for distribution only. Grant agreed and launched Misc. Wines with the idea that all of the production would travel out of state to restaurants and retailers. This plan took a turn when his eager fans caught wind of the new brand and twisted Grant's arm into selling the entire production directly to them. So much for those wine lists on the East Coast!

Now a decade  in, Grant has a sweet little set-up with the Misc. Wines. He makes four single vineyard Cabernets, just 50 cases of each. His mailing list demand is so high that he sells out of everything within a week of release. So we were very surprised when he shared a very generous allocation with us! In Grant's words, "it would be my pleasure to work with a great local business such as yours."

Now it's time for the fun - MIX AND MATCH! Grant's wines present a unique opportunity grow your wine IG and/or indulge in your favorites. He makes four wines, all are 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from single vineyards within four unique AVAs. All four wines are vinified the same way, so side-by-side these wines are a true exploration in terror. While the soil sets, climate, and exposure varies for each site, the thing that these wines all have in common is that they are exceptionally DRINKABLE! No patience needed to extract the very best palate - just pop and pour from some of the juiciest, most expressive wines we have the pleasure of working with.
