Pinot Grigio is prized for its versatility and approachability, offering bright fruit character, crisp acidity, and a clean, refreshing profile. When crafted with intention, the grape can deliver far more than simplicity, showcasing texture, nuance, and depth while remaining effortlessly drinkable. The most compelling examples balance purity and lift, allowing subtle complexity to emerge without sacrificing freshness. This year’s Best Pinot Grigio honors a wine that captures that balance.

See Ya Later Ranch is known for producing expressive, vineyard-driven wines that highlight Washington State’s diverse growing conditions. While the winery bottles the wine as Pinot Gris, the style aligns seamlessly with the Pinot Grigio category, emphasizing freshness, aromatics, and precision. The 2024 Pinot Gris reflects a bright, modern interpretation of the grape, shaped by cool-climate influences that preserve acidity and enhance aromatic expression.

See Ya Later Ranch’s 2024 Pinot Gris delivers a vibrant, polished expression of the varietal, blending crisp fruit character with a refreshing, clean finish. The wine’s balance and clarity make it both inviting and expressive, showcasing why Pinot Grigio continues to resonate with judges and consumers alike.

With its vibrancy and varietal integrity, See Ya Later Ranch’s 2024 Pinot Gris stood out as a benchmark example of Pinot Grigio in this year’s competition. Congratulations to See Ya Later Ranch on earning Best Pinot Grigio at the 2025 San Francisco International Wine Competition, a recognition that highlights both the winery’s craftsmanship and Washington State’s strength with aromatic white wines.
