Seven Apart
Expedition Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
One of the most ambitious new entrants to the Napa luxury wine scene sits high up on Atlas Peak. In true “modern Napa” form, Seven Apart @sevenapart is a spare-no-expense project that is the work of financier Don Dady and NFL star Jason Kyle. Andy Erickson of @faviawines is their inaugural winemaker. Deep black cherry and cassis and tobacco morph into licorice and dried flowers and dried herbs on the journey across the palate. Sumptuous and polished, but with excellent acidity and an admirably restrained 14.1% alcohol. The bottle, as you’d expect from such a venture, is offensively heavy, but the wine is good. This is the remains of a press sample.

A wonderful new entry, beautifully balanced with little pre-care. Yes, aeration and decanting, but not excessively.

Still muted given its young age.. but has the ingredients to be spectacular in a few years!

A pleasure to drink with a nice profile of red fruits and berries. Did not quite get the bold multi-layered flavors that the 2018 vintage offered even after an hour of decanting (only some hints at the finish). Probably needs 4-5 more years in the bottle to reach its full potential.
