Marleigh True was inspired by our daughter Marleigh and a memorable dinner we shared with her in Florence while she was studying abroad in Italy.

That experience inspired us to create a California white with a Mediterranean spirit: not a wine defined by any one variety, but one built around freshness, texture, and the pleasure of sharing a bottle around the table.

Marleigh True opens with bright, crisp acidity that gives the wine wonderful energy and lift, then broadens across the palate into creamy tropical notes of coconut, papaya, and honeydew, framed by vibrant citrus. The finish is long, textured, and persistent, making it equally enjoyable on its own or alongside great food and good company.

CELLAR SESSIONS VOL. 7: 2012 UMBRAL🍷

PRE-SALE OPENS AUGUST 21ST AT 10 AM PT

The 2012 Umbral Cabernet Sauvignon is a profound reflection of our estate’s vision, capturing a foundational moment in our winemaking history. Sourced from premier Napa Valley vineyard sites, this exceptional release represents our relentless pursuit of elegance, strength, and balance.

After more than a decade in our library cellar, the 2012 vintage has entered a magnificent stage of evolution. Its once-bold power has beautifully softened, opening with an expressive bouquet of chocolate-covered raisins, fresh blackberries, black licorice, and kirsch. As it expands across the palate, it reveals intricate layers of white pepper, fine to***co, and earthy undertones that speak to its fine maturity.

Silky, polished, and seamlessly integrated, this flagship wine has reached a truly exceptional drinking window—offering all the complexity and grace that only time can deliver. Much like the iconic statue that stands as a sentinel at James Cole Estate, the 2012 Umbral represents the enduring soul of our cellar: a benchmark Napa Valley Cabernet that drinks exquisitely today, with a lingering finish and the backbone to reward further cellaring.

This Friday, we will release the final bottles of this cherished vintage.
