Deep garnet with a slight purple undertone, seductive notes of red plums, red cherries, ripe blackberries laced with red roses and mushrooms. A plethora of juicy red fruits highlighted by the brightest acidity and supple tannins yield an assertive, complex, elegant experience on the palate with decadent flavors and a vibrant, lingering finish.Ernest
Ernest Vineyards specializes in site-specific wines. Each of our wines comprises grapes from one vineyard and one vineyard only. For our Ernest labels, we use grapes from seven sites in all. Some sites are valley floor, some are on hillsides. Some face west, all are considered cold-climate. We work closely with growers and vineyard managers at each site to dial-in the farming to adhere to a style that maximizes flavor ripeness while keeping sugars down and acidity high. The result: Wines that are pure expressions of the sites from which they came.

Bright and clear, pale white-gold in color. Subtle aromas of flowers, sour apples, celery root and Asian pears, laced with intense mineral aromas and the hint of sea. Energetic, vibrant acidity yet finessed and elegant on the palate with the complexity of fresh tangerines and Meyer lemons, and nuanced salinity.

Eugenia
We produce Rosé and other fun wine projects, under the Eugenia label. Our current release, from the 2020 vintage, is our first Estate bottling of Rosé from the Cleary Freestone Ranch, made from Pinot Noir picked specifically for this Rosé.
Estate Rosé of Pinot Noir 2020
Sonoma Coast
Pale light pink-salmon color with aromatic intensity. Full of fresh strawberry and raspberry aromas at first. Herbaceous hints are followed by notes of mandarin oranges and honey crisp apples. On the palate the wine delivers a refreshing burst of these same fruits, laced by a juicy and brilliant acidic profile. This Rosé has a lot of depth and complexity, with a finish that is refreshing to the end.
Edaphos
In addition to Ernest and Eugenia, we own and operate a third label: Edaphos (pronounced ee-dah-fos). It means “base,” “ground,” and “soil” in Greek; we felt it was a good expression of our attitude behind this winemaking. We consider this part of our business to be our “laboratory,” the place where we make small-lot wines that incorporate new and exciting approaches to winemaking with different styles and off-beat grape varietals. Sometimes we also call it our “sandbox.” The Edaphos strategy enables us to explore, experiment, and apply some of the lessons we learn to wines we make under our other labels. It also allows us to produce different wines whenever we feel like making them.
2020 Trousseau
Mendocino County
Light and slightly opaque in a color reminiscent of red burgundy. Broad aromas from savory herbs, salted strawberries, floral, and pine sap. Fruit forward and slightly tannic on the palate, it is a dry wine with flavors of dried cherries and candied rose petals, all collected with salinity and marked acidity.
2019 Petite Arvine
Mendocino County
Brilliant pale white gold in color with fresh, bright aromas of chamomile and jasmine to dried apricots and apple chips. Silky texture with pronounced acidity balances with flower and fruit flavors. A rare grape for California, it originally hails from the Vallais region of Switzerland.
2018 Grenache
Sonoma Valley
Light, bright burgundy color packs aromas of dried cherries, pomegranate seeds, and dusty red roses. A vibrant palate with charming fruit, well -balanced tannins, mélange of dried and fresh red fruits, refreshing acidity and pronounced earthiness.
2018 Giving Tree Pinot Noir
Oregon
Intense burgundy or crimson in color. The nose of black plums and cherries with cassis, peppercorn, dried herbs and toast carry the intensity further. A powerful structure framing wild, untamed fruit with marked acidity and firm, textural tannins that mellow on the finish.
