The Story

The 2018 Merlot is 100% single vineyard Merlot from the Stags Leap District from the family-owned, sustainably farmed Stags Landing vineyard, which is managed by Napa Valley vineyard management legend Alex Vyborny (which, incidentally, is Czech for excellent, which his vineyards certainly indicate!). Mr. Vyborny has managed vineyards for Far Niente, Joseph Phelps and many many others, so we were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with this fruit. This Merlot is a Cab drinker's Merlot and is strong, structured, and elegant.

About Acre Wines

Producer Story

Welcome to the world of Acre wines! It all started with a one acre vineyard planted by co-founder Dave Becker in 2002. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, Mike and Talley Henry purchased the winery from the founders in 2017 and brought on veteran winemaker, Richard Bruno, and together, they are honored to continue the legacy of producing highly acclaimed, handcrafted Acre wines from celebrated family-owned vineyards in the Napa Valley. They produce classic Napa Valley varietals from organically or sustainably farmed vineyards that showcase the unique characteristics of the AVAs from which they source their grapes. They believe that great wine starts in the vineyard and that the partnership between the grower, vineyard manager, and winemaker is essential to what you ultimately taste in the glass.
