Three Sticks Price Family Estates Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2023 Rated 94VM

VinoUS Media Review
Rated 94
The 2023 Pinot Noir Price Family Estates draws on all of Bill Price's vineyards. Bright acids and beams of tannin immediately confer both freshness and energy. Crushed rose petal, chalk, mint, slate and dried herbs show all the delineation of a cool, late-ripening year. This is impeccably done, but also young. Give it a year or two in bottle. Drinking Window 2026-2035.
