Keller 2008 Precioso Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $75
This barrel selection, Keller’s best, is an elaborate and complex Pinot Noir. It shows classic coastal acidity, with deep, delicious flavors of raspberries, cherries, mocha, licorice, spices and sweet sandalwood. The tannins are rich enough to let it age over the next six years.

Keller 2007 El Coro Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $52
This is an impressive young Pinot Noir that’s not particularly nuanced now, but could develop bottle complexity over the next 4–6 years. It’s dry, silky and tart, and marked by hugely ripe flavors of cherries, raspberries, Dr. Pepper cola, orange zest and smoky oak. The fact that it grows better in the glass is a positive indicator of ageability.

Keller 2008 El Coro Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $52
A very rich, opulent Pinot Noir. It’s almost as sweet as a dessert, like a cherry and chocolate tart, but it’s actually quite dry. Crisp acidity gives it a balancing snap. Now–2014.

Keller 2007 Oro de Plata Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $30
Fancy, with racy acidity and rich oak framing ripe natural flavors of pineapple brûlée, pear concentrate and Meyer lemon essence. Rich, but balanced and elegant.

Keller 2008 La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Gris (Sonoma Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A really lovely Pinot Gris, filled with pineapple, tangerine, apple, wildflower and mineral flavors brightened with crisp acidity, and with a dry finish. The grapes come from the cool, foggy Petaluma Gap region.

Keller 2008 La Cruz Vineyard Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $36
Lots of zesty acidity and minerals in this Chardonnay, but also lots of richness. Brims with ripe pineapples, peaches, papayas and green apples, with extra levels of buttered toast and honey. A crowd-pleasing wine to drink now.

Keller 2003 Pius Beerenauslese Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- $36
Sweet and full-bodied--a little chunky to be honest--but with its seductive aromas of orange marmalade and superripe apples it makes the grade. Flavors are slightly roasted, leaning toward caramel and sweet corn, but it hangs together pretty well on the finish, ending without cloying sweetness.
