Ernest Vineyards

Erin Brooks and Todd Gottula founded Ernest Vineyards in 2012 to craft wines of integrity and restraint from the far reaches of West Sonoma Coast. Ernest focuses on cool-climate, marine-influenced and undiscovered vineyards and produces small-lot wines that offer a sense of place in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In 2018, Joseph Ryan joined as Winemaker bringing focus and finesse to the low-intervention method and style of Ernest wines. Current production is approximately 8,000 cases annually.
