Three Sticks ‘Gap’s Crown Vineyard’ Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2023
Last Year’s Wine Enthusiast’s #5 Cellar Selection of 2024
96 Points, Vinous – ?? Points, Wine Enthusiast
Three Sticks makes this absolutely gorgeous Chardonnay off the uber famous Gap’s Crown Vineyard in Sonoma just to the East of Sangiacomo Vineyard. This is a sacred, hillside vineyard that has established itself as one of the elite sources for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown in the States. Last year, Wine Enthusiast named this one of their #5 Top Cellar Selection of the entire year. This year, they haven’t weighed in yet, but Galloni called it an “impressive wine” with “all the elements so well balanced” in his 96-point review.
Original price was: $75.00.$65.00Current price is: $65.00.

The 2023 Chardonnay Gap’s Crown Vineyard is another impressive wine in this range from Three Sticks. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, slate and chalk are all beautifully delineated in this brisk, nervy Chardonnay. All the elements are so well balanced. I especially admire the wine’s translucence and mineral-driven purity.
Three Sticks is a super hot winery right now located in the heart of Sonoma. They have built a reputation, especially over the past decade, for making super elegant and sophisticated wines that can be aged for decades.
The winery was founded by Bill Price III (the “three sticks” nickname comes from his “III” suffix) who was previously known for his acquisition and revitalization of Kistler Vineyards and other premium California wine properties.
Gap’s Crown sits on the western slopes of Sonoma Mountain in the Petaluma Gap, where relentless winds and dense Pacific fog create some of the most challenging growing conditions in California. The vines struggle. Grapes ripen slowly. Skins thicken. The result? Wines with exceptional color, intense concentration, and the kind of structure that makes Burgundy producers jealous.
