About William Cole Vineyards
William Cole Vineyards uses the founder's formal full name — William Cole, the legal name of Bill Cole — as a declaration of personal seriousness. Using the formal name rather than the familiar nickname signals intention: this is a project that takes itself seriously enough to use the name on formal occasions rather than the casual version used among friends.
Bill Cole's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon project draws on carefully selected vineyard sources with a winemaking philosophy shaped by the founder's own palate and the conviction that Napa Valley's best expression comes from site-specific restraint rather than extracted power.
The appointment-only tasting room offers the personal encounter appropriate to a project that takes the formality of a full legal name seriously.
