Stanton Vineyards in Napa Valley started out in 1947 as a grape growing enterprise. The Stanton family today still grows grapes and owns 75 acres of vineyards in three different locations. They have a vineyard in Oakville and two in St. Helena. Stanton Vineyards have long been a source for Napa Valley wineries including Stag's Leap, Merryvale, Orin Swift, Groth and others. In 1999 the family also began making wine under their own label. Dave Phinney is winemaker. Stanton produces estate designated Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah.
