2019 MISC - Rutherford Cabernet
Grant Long Jr. has spent his entire life in the wine business, and he has always been driven by his passion to make great wine. Grant’s biggest influence has been his father who loves wine, and has an extensive fine wine collection. Grant was exposed to these wines at a very young age. At the age of 16, Grant produced his first wine under the guidance of Gustavo Brambilla. If you have ever seen the movie “Bottle Shock”, Gustavo’s character was the energetic winemaker that was able to correctly guess not only the Chateau, but the vintage of the classified growth Bordeaux wines he blind tasted. From a very young age, Grant was destined to make an impact on the wine world. He is driven by his passion to make incredible wine and spares no expense to do so.
Grant is behind many top labels that you may or may not have heard of. This is simply because all the wines Grant produces are highly allocated and all sold off mailing lists. Grant is the sole proprietor of Aonair wines in the Conn Valley. Grant is also the lead winemaker at Blue Oak, Witchery, and Jack. He is also a partner at G Wine Cellars and worked for many years in sales and marketing for Reverie Winery on Diamond MTN.
Tasting Notes: Full-bodied and structured cabernet, chocolate, mocha, clove, cedar, and a hint of rose petal with concentrated fruit notes of blackberry fruit leather, cassis, and sugarplum. Savory herbs, tea leaves, and cigar box finish big. Naturally the Rutherford “dust” is prevalent, giving the wine a complexity indicative of only Rutherford!
