Price Family Estates Three Sticks Gap’s Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir
Price Family Vineyards & Estates is a family of vineyards and wineries owned by Bill and Eva Price. It includes 370 planted acres of Sonoma Coast vineyard, spread through out Durell Vineyard, Gap’s Crown Vineyard, Walala Vineyard, One Sky Vineyard, and other select vineyards in development listed below. Our wineries include Three Sticks, LUTUM and Head High Winery.
Over the rugged hills of the Sonoma Coast spans a treasured and diverse wine growing region. From the wild northwest edges of the coastline through the conifer forests and inland hills to the foggy valleys and out to the Bay, our vineyards highlight the best of coastal Pinot Noir. At Three Sticks, we believe the table fellowship as a heartfelt practice, and the difference it makes in our lives.
Vineyard Notes
Year after year, Gap’s Crown Vineyard delivers pinot noir with sensational poise. Nearly constant wind and fog from the famed Petaluma Gap create clusters with thicker skins and smaller berries-perfect pinot noir. With higher skin content and cooler temperatures, this pinot noir is loved for its plush tannins and incredible density.
Vintage Notes
The growing season in 2019 was generally mild, leading to quality results. While there was record flooding of the Russian River and other local tributaries in February, the timing of the floods occurred during vine dormancy. That timing, plus the elevation of our vineyards, kept us out of harm’s way. The weather was cool in August and September as the fruit matured, allowing us to pick without the pressure of any oncoming heat waves or rain. Once the fruit was harvested, we captured the subtly and nuance as well as the intensity of flavor that comes with long maturation during those final cool months. We are excited for the tremendous quality that is certain to show itself with this “quiet” weather vintage.
Tasting Notes
On the nose, you’ll discover this wine’s signature blackberry and boysenberry profile, intertwined with hints of graphite and ginger. Toasty and savory elements complement the dense core, making this another stunner of a year for Gap’s Crown Pinot Noir.
