"...As to the wines themselves, you'll find a few really lovely and highly recommended wines... The California stars in the 75+ producers that follow include, Ant Hill, Au Bon Climat, Emeritus, Eric-Kent, Etude, Flowers, Keller Estate, Lazy Creek Littorai."
Keller Estate's wines have received numerous accolades from a variety of publications:
Wine Spectator - 92 points. 2007 El Coro Pinot Noir
"Finds the balance between restraint and fleshy ripe cherry, plum, and currant flavors. Smooth and silky, with spice box, clove and tobacco flavors mingle nuances and a long, detailed finish. Drink now through 2014. 309 cases made".
Wine & Spirits - 90 points. 2008 La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Gris
"The coastal cool of this vineyard in the Petaluma Gap created a gris with plenty of flavor intensity. There's a citrus pith flavor amidst all the juiciness, both of greener lime pith and redder ruby grapefruit. It ends on pointed acidity. For grilled mahimahi"
Wine Enthusiast - 90 points. 2007 La Cruz Vineyard Oro de Plata Chardonnay
"Fancy, with racy acidity and rick oak framing ripe natural flavors of pineapple brulée, pear concentrated and Meyer lemon essence. Rich, but balanced and elegant."
Wine Enthusiast - 96 points. 2005 Precioso Pinot Noir
"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 tannings gives it the perfect architecture. Best now in its flashy youth and for the next 4 or 5 years."
Wine Enthusiast - 94 points. 2005 Precioso Chardonnay
"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. Drink now - 2015."
