Three Sticks Wines
“Three Sticks” refers to the three Roman numerals that follow Founder and Principal Bill Price’s written name. He was known as “Billy Three Sticks” growing up surfing in Hawaii, where the young Price attended high school. As he describes his path from seawater to wine in a calm, steady voice, it’s hard to guess that this is the same man who spent much of the last 30 years in corporate board rooms. Rather, it seems only natural that Price would trade in a thriving business career for a life among the vines, and that the father of three would wax poetic on the importance of leaving the world a better place for generations to come—whether through sustainable vineyard and winery practices, or through his nonprofit work.
Price’s strategy is to work with winemakers who have their own individual style of winemaking and who maintain that vision with each vintage and with each piece of land. He believes that this commitment to a specific style lets one perfect their identity as a winemaker while also allowing them to stand out in the marketplace.
2020 Price Family Estates Pinot Noir
This vintage exudes all of the qualities we love most about the range of pinot noir from this region – from the terroir of the inland hillsides to the more extreme coastal sites. On the nose you’ll find blueberry, violet, and black tea. Notes of grilled meat, violet, and cardamom provide depth and texture on the palate, while a touch of sweet cocoa powder further complements this pretty wine.
