It's not quite a cult Napa Cab, but you'd be surprised how close the profile fits with this soft sumptuous wine. Like its competitors costing 10 times as much, it's velvety smooth, with enormously ripe cassis, milk chocolate, cherry pie, vanilla and cinnamon spice flavors. At this price it's a steal, and easy to find. Best Buy! - 89 Points!
-The Wine Enthusiast - July 2007
Cabernet Sauvignon. Le grand vin noble. The most noble of wines. No matter how many different wines you produce, your success is almost always measured by the quality of your Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a bit unfair, but so is much in this world. That fact isn’t lost on us. Our goal has been and will always be, to produce the very best Cabernet Sauvignon you can find at this price or even higher. So we have secured what we think are the best vineyards on the Central Coast to provide grapes for this particular wine. Our vineyards in Paso Robles and Southern Monterey County yield grapes with brilliant flavors of red fruits, structure, and tannins, and make wines that are lush, vibrant, yet supple. We harvest early in the morning while the grapes are still cool and bring them immediately up to our winery. We gently de-stem and crush the berries into small open-top fermentation tanks, punch down or pump them over 3-4 times per day until dry, then press the finished wines off of the skins and seeds. At this point the wines are taken down to new and older French oak barrels for a long slumber. When it’s time to awaken our Cabernet Sauvignon friends, we gently pump them from their resting place, blend with a little Cabernet Franc for aromatic lift and a little Petite Verdot for structure and finish.
Please check back. We are in the process of redesigning our web site and will have many great specials.

Toasted Head Chardonnay
750 ML Bottle
$10.99
Taste
Bright tangerine and pear fruit aromas are highlighted by clove and nutmeg. This medium-bodied wine has a crisp acidity and long finish, with pear and toasty butterscotch oak flavors, and a creamy texture.
Winemaker Comments
Toasted Head Chardonnay is aged on its lees. By stirring the lees in each barrel once a week for six months, the wine picks up a mellow, creamy texture, and the oak flavors are softened.
History
Toasted Head Chardonnay, produced from the finest lots of the choicest R. H. Phillips vineyards, was introduced with the 1995 vintage.
