Monopole
Our Monopole Vineyards are sites that were meticulously chosen for their soil, terroir, location, and soul to plant from the ground up specifically for Three Sticks. Alana, One Sky, and William James Vineyards are all smaller sites organically farmed exclusively to produce the exact type of fruit to make the exact type of pinot noir and chardonnay we strive for. Small but mighty, these extraordinary sites give us wines we are exceptionally proud of year after year.
Russian River Valley
Nestled in the redwood trees of the Russian River Valley, Alana feels like a part of the forest around it. Working with its surroundings versus against, this vineyard is small but mighty and produces grapes of distinction. Alana is named after Bill’s youngest daughter and like Alana herself, these youthful vines are vibrant and full of energy.
Sonoma Mountain
It’s safe to say One Sky is one of our more beautiful properties, nestled on the top of rural Sonoma Mountain. This unique site is unusually high for pinot noir and chardonnays, lending itself to layered, multi-dimensional wines. The name One Sky comes from its elevated perspective of San Francisco all the way to the coast of Sonoma, epitomizing that we all live under one sky.
Russian River Valley
Named after Bill’s first and only son, James, William James Vineyard is located in Gravenstein – the heart of Sonoma County’s apple country. For the uninitiated, part of Sonoma County’s history is rooted in the belief that where apples thrived, grapes would too. Filled with gorgeous, lightweight Goldridge soil, this vineyard is incredible for producing pinot noirs of depth and complexity.
