Keller Estate 2005 Precioso Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $150
Irresistible is the word that comes to mind to describe this Pinot, which is available only in magnums. The vintage was California’s finest ever, and the wine shows spectacularly ripe red currant, cherry, tangerine zest, licorice and beef jerky flavors, with just the right touch of smoky oak. Yet the structural balance of acidity and fine tannins gives it the…

Keller Estate 2007 Precioso Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $75
An extraordinary Chardonnay whose complicated richness is balanced with tight acidity and a firm grounding of stony minerals. Brings to mind a great Chablis, with its zesty tang followed by elaborate layers of tropical fruits and pears. Utterly delicious, wildly appealing, a wine that will develop bottle interest over the next six years. Only 97 cases were produced.

Keller Estate 2007 Precioso Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
A dazzlingly good Pinot Noir. Hard to exaggerate the precision of flavor and structure. Shows the massively ripe character of the vintage, with a starburst of raspberries, cherries, cola, minerals and spices, while the acidity and tannins are just about perfect. This crowd pleaser is just extraordinary now, and should develop in the bottle over the next six years.

Keller Estate 2005 Precioso Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $150
Available only in magnums, this Chard consists of a single barrel from the estate vineyard, which is in the Petaluma area, a very cool region. The wine is very fine. It’s equal parts ripe green pears, Meyer lemons and smoky oak, with a firm, steely underpinning of minerals. Should age well for a Chardonnay, especially in the big bottle.

Keller Estate 2007 La Cruz Vineyard Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $36
A few years in the bottle are beginning to age this charming Chardonnay, although its brisk acidity and minerality remain. The pear, guava, nectarine and tangerine flavors are just starting to pick up a dried fruit character. Complex and savory, it’s a very fine wine to drink now.

Keller Estate 2007 La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $44
Made in a light-bodied, lower-alcohol style, this Pinot feels silky and gentle in the mouth. It really delivers when it comes to flavor. Displays big, impressive notes of raspberries, cherries, Dr. Pepper cola, red licorice, beef jerky and smoky sandalwood that are complex and satisfying, and that finish entirely dry. Drink now and over the next four years.

Keller Estate 2009 Precioso Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Elevates the Keller style of superripe, oaky Chardonnay into a more refined, balanced wine, equally rich but more perfect. It’s still potent in buttered toast, vanilla, caramel, honey and pineapple jam, but crisp acidity and minerality help to give structure to the opulence.

Keller Estate 2005 La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $40
Keller enters the big leagues with this marvelously layered Pinot Noir. For starters, it’s delicious. Dry and crisp, the flavors are of ripe cherries, raspberries, tangerines, pomegranates and cola, with smoky, spicy complexities from new French oak. The mouthfeel is smooth and velvety, leading to a long, fruity finish. Best now and through 2010.
