CINSAULT

This old-bush Cinsault was planted in 1953. The vineyard had been designated to be planted entirely to Pinotage, but a Pinotage shortage meant the project could not be completed. Fortunately, the remaining section was planted to Cinsault. The Lone Wolf, with its lifted floral notes, fragrant spices, cherry and fresh acidity, is a tasty reversal of that tired old saw about best-laid plans.

Riesling

This popular, classic Mosel Riesling is always a superb value. It's made with a gentle sweetness that's kept in balance by Riesling's firm natural acidity. A juicy wine, with lemon, apple, peach and touches of tropical fruit alongside the pure minerality that's such a defining characteristic of the Mosel. Pair with a spicy Thai pork dish or breaded calamari and jalapenos. - Vintages Panel

Winemaker Notes

Two new vineyard sources are at the core of this blend. From alluvial soils slightly further inland than our West Sonoma Coast Estate, young vine Old Wente and old vine Clone 4 combine to capture the essence of how we, at Ernest, view Chardonnay. Ripening earlier in the season, these grapes are picked with the acid still very intact but with full physiological ripeness. The old vines giving us full pear and ripe apples notes while the Old Wente drives the palate with minerality and verve. Native fermentations in 228L French Oak barrels, 25% of which are new, this wine was bottled after 10 months on the lees, and a light filtration.

A bright canary yellow wine with clear and luscious golden hues. The fruit notes are reminiscent of Asian pears and loquats with hints of sour unripe pineapples. The minerality is also up-front with nuances of ocean air, wet sands, and oyster shells. For Burgundy lovers, this Chardonnay has the subtlety of flavors and exuberance of acidity and terroir. This is without a doubt a “wine of place” our newest AVA - the maritime-influenced 'West Sonoma Coast'.
