Note di degustazione
Blended from Base Camp and Stags Ridge, with the addition of some purchased fruit, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Expedition is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. The only wine to be bottled by Seven Apart from the 2020 vintage, it's a bit stiff and firm. Cassis and plum join dark chocolate and loam on the nose, while the sturdy palate is medium to full-bodied and seemingly in need of a few years in the cellar.

The only 2020 presented, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Expedition is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. It has plenty of cassis and tobacco notes, hints of violets, medium to full body, and a forward, charming, plush style perfect for near-term drinking.
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Expedition is the only wine Seven Apart bottled in 2020. It is one of the better wines I tasted from this very challenging year. Effusive and bright, the 2020 offers up a compelling mélange of dark cherry, plum, crushed flowers and mocha. There's a good bit of tannin, but also enough fruit to balance things out. I must say, this is an impressive showing from Seven Apart and winemaker Andy Erickson.
