The winery plants four different blocks of Riesling planted in its two estate vineyards. Trisaetum's Rieslings were have been awarded Editors Choice designations by the Wine Enthusiast Magazine, with multiple Top 100 Wines, and scores of 96, 95, 94, and 93 points on Wine Enthusiast's 100-point scale.[3][4] The winery is also known for its varietals of Pinot Noir. The 2008 vintage was named a top selection by both Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate. Beginning in 2011, the winery makes a vineyard designate Pinot Noir from the Dundee Hills AVA. Trisaetum began producing sparkling wines from their single vineyard estates in the summer of 2017.
