Westwood Estate

At a young age, founder Carl Stanton was driven by challenges. Carl came from a career military family–mom and dad met in the base mess hall in between the Korean and Vietnam wars. Carl learned the value of work, integrity, and partnership. Over the next 30 years, he developed a career running and investing in small businesses. Serendipity struck in 1998 when Carl and his friends created the beginnings of Westwood and founded the Annadel Gap Vineyard. For the next dozen years, the team planted and replanted, slowly finding the voice of the vineyard, that sweet spot of varietals farming and winemaking.
