U.S. Newly Available 06/14
Wine & Spirits 94: ‘John Williams at Frog's Leap is not out to make the ripest cabernet in the valley. He's a grower, and it appears that he tuned his organically farmed vines precisely to the long, moderate 2007 season, producing a wine that stretches from the roots to the leaves and reaches toward cool, pure, tightly balanced fruit. It's an elegant cabernet, the fruit transparent enough to show the character of Rutherford through the lens of woodland strawberries and red and black currants. Delicious on release, this gets better with air, as it will in bottle. A wine to cellar for ten years and enjoy along the way with lamb.'

Wine Enthusiast 95 - CELLAR SELECTION: ‘Judging from the tannins, it's too youthful to drink now, with a tight, astringent mouthfeel and fleshy, unintegrated oak. But the flavors are extraordinary. They flood the mouth with the essence of Cabernet, with ripe blackberries, black currants, raspberries and mocha, and the spicy finish lasts for a full minute. Give it until 2013, and it should provide great drinking through 2019, at least. $140.'

It's a complex, well-crafted wine that should develop in the bottle at least through 2014.'

U.S. Newly Available 06/14
Wine & Spirits 94: ‘Keller's pinot noir grows in the Petaluma Wind Gap on soils that originated as the ancient seabed of the San Pablo Bay. The 2007 season brought those elements together in a delicate, persistent wine with ethereal red fruit. The ripe raspberry and fraise des bois flavors carry structural tension right in the fruit, as well as tannins ripened to a satin feel. A scent of rose adds to the fragrance of the fruit and to the finesse of the wine overall. The flavors last, clear, lively and delicious, particularly with a salad of duck confit. $44.'
