There was a man named Ernest. He was an entrepreneur, a risk-taker and a role model for his grandson, Todd Gottula, who founded the Ernest Winery with his wife, Erin Brooks, back in 2012. Todd’s grandmother, Joanne, is The Artist in the family. Her path as an artist revealed itself later in life, but her talent shines through. Today her beautiful works grace their lives daily—she is the source of the portrait of Ernest that appears on all of the Ernest bottles.
THE VINEYARD: The Ernest Estate is anchored in the heart of the Freestone Valley, an area deeply defined by the extreme cold temperatures and blanketing fog from the chilly Pacific Ocean. The challenging growing conditions reward with wines of structure and restraint.

Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points: “From clay-based soils, the 2021 Chardonnay Estate is a pale golden hue and reveals broad aromas of ripe peach, lightly toasted spices, and orange blossom. Medium to full-bodied, this brilliant Chardonnay offers wonderful freshness without austerity. Refreshing, with a beautiful kick of acidity, notes of ripe green apple and lemon-lime citrus oil coax over the palate, with a soft mineral texture and a fresh, cleansing finish. It is gorgeous now but has plenty of life ahead. Drink 2023-2030.”
Winemaker Notes: “The Ernest Estate is anchored in the heart of the Freestone Valley, an area deeply defined by the extreme cold temperatures and blanketing fog from the chilly Pacific Ocean. The challenging growing conditions reward with wines of structure and restraint. An incredibly pale example of the varietal. On the nose, this lean and vibrant wine is met with lush citrus and green herbs notes. The wine offers up floral and bright fruits with impeccable acidity and a delicate mouthfeel. It is refreshing without being overly acidic. Clean and fresh gets thrown around a lot these days but, in this case, it is the perfect description of this cool-climate Chardonnay.”
