    This elegant, complex wine tastes like a delicate throwback to 1970s Burgundy in the way that it weaves its exotic, spicy and savory aromas with subtle fruit flavors. It's medium bodied and built of fine-grained tannins, reveal layer after layer with each sip. Best after 2019.

    This wine features the signature, woodsy, savory aromas of Phillips Hill. It has a lighter, slightly tawny color compared with most of its peers from Anderson Valley. Flavors combine spice and fruit with meaty, mushroomy notes, giving character and personality to a delicious win…

    This has a red-brick rim, and mellow aromas and soft texture seem to confirm this is a mature wine that's ready to enjoy. Aromas resemble cranberry and raspberry, while the flavors are more like sweet red cherries and pomegranate seeds. The texture is soft and smooth.
