Vintone Wines
Small production runs of singular wines. Wines that have a story to tell: a unique vineyard; an interesting varietal; a thoughtful blend. There is no dogma, just a desire to craft and share independent expressions of wine.
Vintone is a journey that began in 2015, with Cabernet Sauvignon from a vineyard high up on Mt. Veeder in Napa Valley, belonging to and tended by the Yates family. In 2016, a Chenin Blanc from Mendocino joined the journey, from a hillside vineyard named for the owner’s father, Sterling Ranch.
