Lovely Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, hitting its peak with dried cherry nose, raspberry, roast beef, grilled pork, rose petal, roobios, graphite, dried blueberries. Rich mouthfeel showing cola nut, espresso, fruit and barrel tannic underpinnings, aforementioned roobios, lavender and roses, raisins, figs, dates, clove, peppercorn and cinnamon perfectly portioned in an intense wash of raspberry, smoky, bitter savory, nettle and an anise afterthought. Incredible wine from a serious house that always delivers their intense manifestations with grace and finesse. Rich in every sense.

Lighter on its feet than the 2015, but fresh, chiseled, zippy and saline. Big hit of trapped CO2. Exquisite, balanced and poised for a good 5-7 year sleep. #keller #rheinheissen #pinotblanc #chardonnay — 7 years ago

Galangal, lemongrass, lime leaf, fresh coconut. Searing acidity, offset by fine concentration and a haunting, complex finish. Trace of trapped CO2 blows off quickly. Textbook Trocken. #keller #rheinheissen #riesling — 8 years ago

White pepper, Szechuan pepper, lemon curd, waxy fruits, cold steel. Dense and loaded with extract; both incredibly complex and seemingly weightless. Complete and satisfying. #keller #silvaner #rheinhessen — 6 years ago

Often the forgotten wine of the portfolio, but it always serves as a bellwether for the vintage at Keller. And this is so typical of the sizzling, electric and concentrated wines turned out there in ‘17. Fresh milk, racy acids and elegant minerality...next level stuff! #keller #rheinhessen #pinotblanc #chardonnay — 6 years ago

Sweet. Buzzing acidity. Fine salinity on the impressive, ripe finish. All pineapple, green mango flavors. Needs years, but it will all be drunk within weeks. #keller #rheinheissen #riesling — 6 years ago

More open than the 2015. Rich, long, typical laser acidity. Cornflower and wet stones. Big hit of Abtserde in this, I believe. #rheinheissen #keller #riesling — 8 years ago

A high-acid, low alcohol, slightly sweet miracle you only see in years like '15. Kirchspiel, 18g rs. Zippy, fresh, fine! #keller #riesling #rheinheissen — 8 years ago
