The 2019 Chardonnay Estate Freestone Valley is more ethereal and lively, with lots of white peach, white flowers, crushed stone, and subtle toasty nuances in its more medium-bodied, elegant personality. It's not the biggest or richest wine in the lineup, but I love its balance, purity, and length, and it's certainly another classy Chardonnay worth seeking out.
Product Description:
"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."
