Trust 2008 Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $16

The acids in white wines of the 2008 vintage are superb; and the beautiful match of acids and sugars in many Washington Rieslings is nicely displayed here. The aromas are ripe and rich with a nice mix of floral, apple, stone fruit and light tropical fruit. Flavors evolve with pleasingly sweet hints of honey and tea; this feels like a wine that could age beautifully. — P.G. (9/1/2009)

Trust 2010 Riesling (Columbia Valley (WA))

Editors' Choice

Price $16

Another fine vintage for Trust Riesling, with a pretty, lilting cadence that weaves the sweet/tart fruits into scents of melon, citrus and orange peel. Flavors follow, with a strong impression of English breakfast tea. — P.G. (11/1/2011)

Trust 2010 Rosé of Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $16

There is just the slightest trace of sweetness in this rosé of Cabernet Franc, and it’s perfectly positioned to round out the dusty tannins. The fruit mixes together brambly berry and blue plum, with a rich and lingering finish. A compelling wine given its humble aspirations. — P.G. (11/1/2011)

Trust 2008 Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $28

In this 2008 vintage Trust’s Walla Walla bottling is 100% Syrah. Soft and toasty, it weaves notes of sandalwood and honey muffin around tart berry fruit. Pretty and ripe, with tannins that are buttery smooth. — P.G. (11/1/2011)

Trust 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $36

This 80% Cabernet/20% Merlot is sleek and polished, with moderate levels of alcohol, pretty floral aromas, and a pleasing sense of winemaker restraint across the board. The oak is 30% new, the flavors a delicate mix of tart red fruits, some vanilla, cola and earth. The tannins are just right also; this is a wine that could surprise with more time in the cellar. — P.G. (9/1/2009)

Trust 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $36

From widely scattered vineyards and AVAs, this nicely aged Cabernet shows fig, black cherry and cassis fruit flavors that lead into darker, earthier tannins. Aged in half new/half neutral French oak, it’s got some peppery highlights as well, then thins out through the finish. — P.G. (11/1/2011)

Trust 2006 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA))

Price $28

Vineyard sources for this 100% varietal Syrah were mostly Yakima Valley growers; the cooperage was all French (22% new) and the alcohol levels were in proportion with the overall balance. It’s a good wine, though not up to the standard of the exceptional Trust 2005 Syrah. Here you’ll find light flavors of berry and tomato, fresh herbs and a little green edge to the… — P.G. (3/1/2009)

Trust 2008 Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $32

A fruity, light take on Cabernet Franc, this shows melon and strawberry flavors galore. It opens broadly and full across the palate, with pleasing freshness. Best served lightly chilled, as an opening course (and not too heavy) red. — P.G. (11/1/2011)
