Stanton Vineyards, located in Napa Valley, has a rich history that began in 1947 when Jesse Stanton purchased 100 acres in Yountville. Over the years, the family expanded their holdings to 75 acres across three vineyard sites in the St. Helena and Oakville appellations. The vineyard management is entirely in-house, with long-term employees who possess extensive knowledge of the land. Currently, Stanton Vineyards focuses on red varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petite Sirah, primarily selling grapes to esteemed wineries in the region. Doug Stanton, Jesse's grandson, took over the management after his father, John, retired. Doug began producing wine under the Stanton label in 1999, following years of grape sales. The winery produces around 800 cases annually, featuring a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Petite Sirah, and occasionally a red blend. Their wines are known for their quality, with a consistent focus on specific vineyard blocks for their Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaking has been led by Dave Phinney until 2017, contributing to the winery's reputation for well-crafted wines. Visitors can expect a personalized tasting experience, reflecting the family's dedication to their vineyards and winemaking.
