James Cole Estate

Our journey began in 2000 when our ten-acre estate vineyard in the heart of Napa Valley was purchased and planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Here, we carefully cultivate the fruit that expresses the unique character of our terroir – the soil, the climate, the very essence of this renowned winegrowing region.

Our Grapes
Our pursuit of exceptional wines doesn't stop at our estate. We collaborate with a select group of esteemed growers throughout Napa Valley, each chosen for their unwavering commitment to quality and their intimate knowledge of their vineyards. These partnerships allow us to source extraordinary fruit that complements our estate grapes and adds nuance and complexity to our wines.

Beyond Napa Valley, we venture into the diverse terroirs of the Sierra Foothills and Sonoma Coast. Here, we discover hidden gems – small, meticulously farmed vineyards that yield exceptional Pinot Noir and varieties for our Rosé. These wines, crafted with the same passion and attention to detail as our estate offerings, showcase the breadth of California's winegrowing potential.

From our Napa Valley roots to our explorations further afield, James Cole wines are a testament to the power of place and the dedication of the people who tend the vines. We believe in letting the quality of the fruit speak for itself, crafting wines that are both luxurious and approachable, complex yet inviting.
