2018 | Stanton Vineyards | Cabernet Sauvignon

Intense, herbal and sour-cherry aromas pour from this powerful but rather sleek wine that has a lot of drive. Really distinctive with a very attractive, crisp and very food-friendly finish.

Producer Information

Stanton Vineyards has roots in Napa Valley dating back to 1947 when Jesse Stanton (a San Francisco native) first purchased acreage in the valley (100 acres in Yountville). He kept acquiring land and by the late 1950s owned nearly 220 acres in Napa Valley. Today the Stanton’s own 75 acres of vineyards including two sites within a short distance of each other in the St. Helena Appellation: J.B. Ranch and Mills Vineyard (both east of Highway 29) and one site in Oakville bordering Highway 29 (also on its east side). They do not outsource any of the vineyard management duties, rather they have their own in-house team managing all their vineyards. And a number of their employees have been with them for years and as a result, know their vineyards extremely well. Today they grow only red varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Petite Sirah and Mourvèdre) and sell the fruit to local exemplary wineries such as Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars and Del Dotto among others. Proprietor of Stanton Wines, Doug Stanton is Jesse’s grandson; Doug’s father John was born in San Francisco but raised in Los Angeles. When he retired in 1971, he was the chief chemist for the Bureau of Sanitation for the city of Los Angeles. After retiring at a fairly young age, he moved his family to Napa Valley almost immediately following his retirement to take over management of the properties his father had purchased. After many years of growing and selling grapes (for many years their grapes were sold to what was the Napa Valley Winery Cooperative (where the present-day Hall Winery is located) Doug decided to start making wine and released his first vintage in 1999. When one has excellent vineyards and tastes the wines, they are producing for other winery clients, it made a lot of sense to produce wines under his own label.
