I think the last vintage that Ed and Kirk Venge were involved in were 2017? They were holding fire sales on that vintage, which has turned out decently well. I think the latest owners (Seven Apart label) use Erickson and he was involved in 2018+ BV and does the Seven Apart. I buy the Seven Apart Expedition -- really good and fair pricing for Napa. They are using the prior BV vineyard sources for Seven Apart I believe. I'll be interested to see if they keep making the BV label.
