Toasted Head Cabernet Sauvignon
R.H. Phillips is a producer of classic and Mediterranean varietal wines and the largest grape grower in the Dunnigan Hills area. The phrase ‘toasted head’ comes from the age-old practice of toasting the barrelheads and staves during the coopering process. A bouquet of cherry and blackberry fruit, with notes of chocolate, leather, roasted coffee, and sweet oak best describe this flavorful Cabernet. Tannins are mouth filling but soft, with a hint of smoke. Enjoy now through 2006.

Making the perfect Pinot Noir is often referred to as the “Holy Grail” of winemakers. We are not to say we found the Grail just yet, but for the money, the search just got a little closer. Most of the grapes for this wine are from the cooler Central Coast climate. Medium in both color and body, the wine has a slight hint of strawberries and violets in the nose and an earthy spicy middle. The finish is tasty! Try this wine with fowl, or even salmon.
