About Ernest Vineyards
Inspired by the far West Sonoma Coast and pioneering winegrowers in extreme conditions, Ernest Vineyards was founded in 2012. Our cool-climate, marine-influenced wines from California’s rugged northern coastline capture the essence of the region.
With Winemaker Joseph Ryan joining us in 2018, we’ve embraced a low-intervention approach, resulting in wines of restraint, bright acidity, and engaging complexity. Our sustainable and respectful practices trace back to each of our agricultural roots. Today, we farm 35 organic and regenerative acres in Freestone.
Join us in celebrating our ethos of innovation through Edaphos and Eugenia wines, exploring alternative varietals and winemaking techniques. Experience the extraordinary spirit of the West Sonoma Coast with Ernest Vineyards.
