2012 Keller Estate La Cruz Chardonnay
2010 Keller Estate Oro de Plata Chardonnay
"Awesomely rich and ripe in Meyer lemon tart, orange zest and golden mango flavors, with oak and lees nuances that make it complex and interesting. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation, which gives the acidity the bite of a fresh green apple."

2010 Keller Estate La Cruz Chardonnay
"Rich and fancy in the popular style, showing lots of tropical and citrus fruit, honey, mineral, vanilla, lees and oak flavors, wrapped into a buttery, creamy texture. "

2010 Keller Estate Rotie
"A stylish Rhône-style blend, offering classy aromas and flavors, with roasted dark berry, hot brick, gravelly earth, spice, dried herb, leather and tobacco notes.

2010 Keller Estate El Coro Pinot Noir
"El Coro is a block in the Petaluma Gap estate vineyard that is exposed to the winds. That may account for the wine’s tight, closed quality. It’s brisk in acidity and strong in tannins, although it preserves Pinot’s light, silky texture. The fruits are intensely concentrated in raspberries, cranberries and currants. No reason why this Pinot shouldn’t develop in the…" — Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points (11/1/2013)
2010 Keller Estate La Cruz Pinot Noir
"Leaner and tighter than this bottling has been the previous few vintages, this wine is showing hard tannins obscure in plum, black cherry pie and mocha flavors. Yet it’s a balanced wine, which should develop bottle complexity after 2016." — Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points (11/1/2013)
