Keegan 1996 Zinfandel (Sonoma County)
- $24
This hand-punched Zin is a real treat. Packed with lush brambly flavor, it’s a wine to enjoy now. Aging in some American oak barrels has imparted an obvious sweet vanilla note, one that works well with the hefty body of the wine. With 14% Petite Sirah, this is a classy but rustic wine; unfined and unfiltered.

Keegan 2000 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $32
Interesting and compelling. Somehow the wine combines unctuous tropical fruit flavors with a crisp minerality. The whole of it is wrapped in rich, toasty oak, and there is quite a bit of acidity. One of the more food-friendly Chardonnays of the vintage.

Keegan 2002 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $38
Smoky char, vanilla and buttered toast flavors flood the mouth. But dried citrus peel, tropical mango and ripe peach hit midpalate, taking over and lasting through the finish. Very dry and very crisp, this is a beautifully balanced, subtle, food-worthy Chard.

Keegan 1997 Chardonnay (Knights Valley)
- $28
Rich and round, with dense crème-brûlée and soft apple aromas accented by vanilla notes. Similar flavors prevail on the full palate, which has a well-balanced feel. Long, toasty, butterscotch finish. A complex, appealing wine.

Keegan 2002 Buena Tierra Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- $38
Richer upfront pineapple and savory white peach flavors than Keegan’s Ritchie bottling, and with similar oak, it’s a more forward, palate-flattering wine, and a softer one, as well. Made in the popular style, this is a real crowd-pleaser.

Keegan 2002 E Block Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $48
The palate impression is of cherries and raspberries baked into pie, with a buttery, flaky, smoky crust and a dusting of cinnamon and brown sugar, all wrapped in silk and satin. Would get a higher score if it had greater intensity and depth of flavor.

Keegan 2002 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $34
Nicely captures Pinot’s delicacy and silkiness, with easy tannins that carry spicy cherry and oak flavors. This is an elegant wine, although you find yourself wishing it had more stuffing in the middle.

Keegan 1999 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $48
Deep, sweet almost candied fruit is accented by bacon and saddle leather on the nose of this plump, sensuous wine. Some tasters found the tobacco and horsy notes overbearing, but others praised attractive strawberry and caramel accents. Drink now–2005.
