Why We Chose It:
MISC Wines represents the artistry of small‑lot Napa winemaking, where every barrel is evaluated and curated by winemaker Grant Long Jr. Their 2021 Rutherford Cabernet captures the famed “Rutherford Dust” character with depth and purity, and is widely praised for its power, balance, and sense of place. With 95 points from critic Kevin Vogt and 97 points on CellarTracker, it stands among the most compelling boutique Cabernets of the vintage.
