Acre Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Sauvignon Blanc, stainless raised, built for the table.
The story behind Acre
Acre traces back to 2002, when Dave Becker planted a single acre of Cabernet Sauvignon and let the micro-plot do the talking. Mike and Talley Henry bought the winery in 2017 and brought in consulting winemaker Richard Bruno. An all-red portfolio had its limits, so the first white followed: Acre Sauvignon Blanc, 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the organically and sustainably farmed Morgaen Lee Vineyard in the Yountville AVA.
Handpicked fruit, whole-cluster pressed and cold settled, then fermented and aged six months in stainless steel on stirred lees. That lees work is the tell: bright acidity with a silky, textured middle. James Suckling scored multiple vintages 91 points, including 2019 and 2023.

Chilled hard, it cuts brine and lemon without hiding behind oak.
Enough weight for charred meat, still balanced enough to pour by itself.
Soft tannin and plum handle lamb and braised short rib without a fight.
