Ninth Acre Estate

Our Story

Ninth Acre founders Meridith Mimbs and Andrew Sokol

Ninth Acre is not a place on a map. It is the idea that there is always another acre to discover.

Napa Valley was part of our lives for years before we made St. Helena home. Ninth Acre grew from that connection — a house, a collection of vineyard relationships and a small portfolio of wines produced through Signature, Élevé and Reserve.

What We Value

Restraint over volume. Patience over speed. The belief that a wine is worth making only if it is worth waiting for.

Everything we produce is small in quantity and shared with a limited number of people.

Beautiful wine, the people we choose to share it with, and an unrepeatable moment.
