Price Family Estates Pinot Noir hails from some of the most renowned vineyard sites in Sonoma County. Each property is owned by Three Sticks’ proprietor, Bill Price. Creating a blend of each of the estate vineyards from across Sonoma County is always some of the more cerebral processes in blending each year. The core of the wine comes from the Walala Vineyard, a 17-acre site in the middle of 19,000 acres of redwoods in the far northwestern part of Sonoma County. This year, the blend is 40% Walala, 25% Durell, 15% One Sky, 15% William James, and the balance split between Gap’s Crown and Alana. These properties are distinctly diverse but all share a cool climate, dictated by the Pacific Ocean winds and fog. Each site brings unique characteristics and depth to this bold pinot noir, a highlight of their portfolio that encompasses the finest of the Sonoma Coast appellation.
