THE MAKERS & STORY BEHIND IT ALL

Not every vintner is brave enough to excavate land covered in volcanic rock approximately 1,475 feet above the valley floor. This courageous act paid off, and the land, known as Atlas Peak, provided a home for the grapevines to flourish. The result is a truly unmatched wine.

Some of the most exquisite things in life come from taking risks.

This is the backbone of Seven Apart’s story.

SEVEN APART BEGINS

Nearly 20 years later, Don Dady, a Santa Rosa native, began his lifelong pursuit to create the next generation of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. He quickly recognized the magic of Atlas Peak and purchased the Stags Ridge vineyard in 2018.

Don got to work, assembling a world-class winemaking and viticultural team to bring his vision to life.

IN PURSUIT OF PERFECTION

At Seven Apart, we understand that as a wine connoisseur, you are always searching for the next great Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. For Don, to create the finest wine possible, it was critical to follow the sage advice of his college business professor:

“ALWAYS FIND SEVEN COMPELLING REASONS THAT SET YOUR PROPOSED INVESTMENT APART. IF YOU CAN’T, DON’T INVEST!”

Throughout his journey to bring Seven Apart to life, Don carefully evaluated each decision to ensure it sets the brand apart. His hard work resulted in this impressive list. The first four distinctive elements stood out on Stags Ridge:

One - Terroir

Our vines grow in world-class, dense, rocky soil that offers incredible complexity and elegance in the wines.

Two - Elevation

At 1,475 feet above the valley floor, the vineyard sits above the fog line and enjoys the morning sun. This results in perfectly ripe fruit that will develop beautifully over the years in your cellar.

Three - Topography

Our vineyards face the Pritchard Gap, which captures a breeze directly off the San Francisco Bay every afternoon. This cooling effect results in higher-quality fruit.

Four - Vineyard Layout

Our vineyard is perfectly positioned to channel the afternoon breeze, helping lower sugar and acidity to the desired levels.

Down the hill in the Base Camp Vineyard, the last three elements come together in the cellar:

Five - State-of-the-art production facility

We have all the tools to select and delicately nurture the fruit throughout the fermentation process to achieve the best possible results.

Six - Exceptional Hospitality

We have the opportunity to bring you the best in service and experience within our considered hospitality building.

Seven - World-Class Winemaking

While great wine starts in the vineyard, the pursuit of perfection continues in the cellar. Our talented and meticulous winemaking team ensures that every wine we craft reflects our terroir and elevates us to new heights.

At Seven Apart, we believe this unique combination of perfect terroir, expert winemaking, and a world-class facility is key to producing iconic wines.
