About This Wine


Trailstone

Pinot Gris

We are proud to release the 2021 vintage of our beloved Trailstone Pinot Gris. This wine has added yet another Gold Medal to Trailstone's crowded trophy case. Crisp, mineral textures and ripe stone fruit flavors are landmarks of this wine’s New World style. Washington’s Columbia Valley is nestled in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, creating an arid environment contrary to the Pacific Northwest’s wet reputation. Bright sunny days reveal the riper side of this popular varietal, while cool evenings slow the pace, preserving natural acidity. As grapes ripen slowly throughout a long summer, volcanic soils offer just the right amount of moisture and nutrients. Each aspect of this journey leads to the same destination: a delicious wine well worthy of a special occasion. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Columbia Valley

Sheltered by the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Valley is home to the majority of Washington's vineyards. Cool nights keep zippy acidity in the grapes, while long daylight hours give the fruit plenty of chance to ripen. This results in full-bodied Merlot, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and deeply concentrated Syrah. White wines are just as tantalizing, with toasty oak-touched Chardonnay and ripe stone fruit-flavored Riesling taking the spotlight. Sub-AVAs to look out for are Yakima Valley and Walla Walla. The Columbia Valley is one of the only appellations in the United States to occupy vineyards in two states, as it crosses the Oregon border in the southern part of the valley.
