Toby Hill crafts a delicate Pinot Noir with a Burgundian ethos that speaks to the essence of site. This captures all the classic elements of the Cerise Vineyard, a site that remains a personal favorite. Rose petal, raspberries and cream, crushed minerals and salt, and of course its namesake tart red cherry flavors form a gossamer, ethereal wine that feels lighter than air. A taste of Chambolle in the Anderson Valley. — 7 years ago
Rating 2014 a 96 for now so the scale has somewhere to go up once it gets some age. Aromatics hit the nose with power and went down nicely. This one will be great @Bruce Phillips scary good for being this young. Cheers! — 8 years ago
F'hell this was good! Am I a sell out rating it higher than Plymouth Gin? A little ice and tonic made for a perfect GGG&T — 9 years ago
A solid producer, vintage after vintage. This food wine is under 14% alcohol and caters to those who love new world pinot with old world sensibilities. — 10 years ago

An explosion of dark ripe cherry, plum and BlackBerry. Hot at 15% a.b.v. , but smooth with no burn.
Mild tannins, lingering finish. If your reading this, please try it. $15 at my local liquor store.
One of the best red blends I've tried.
Paired with red potatoes, veg. Medley and roasted chicken. — 6 years ago
I’ve never evaluated vodka, but it smells like candy corn. And it’s delightful. Especially when tasted against a wheat vodka which just smells like rubbing alcohol. On its own this is a great sipping vodka with a beautiful rich soft mouthfeel — 7 years ago

Amazing quality for Bass Phillips entry level Pinot Noir. Nose with cherry/damp earth notes. Carrying thru to sour cherry on the palate. Good Pinot by any standards. 2010 vintage. Tasted again 29 January 2016. Notes as above. Always a pleasure to drink a Bass Phillip Pinot even if it is their 4th or 5th best cuvée. — 10 years ago
Now this is a good Zinfandel. 15 percent alcohol, but you cannot feel much.
Smooth and not too bold. Red fruit on the nose and longer spicy finish. Long legs out of the bottle.
I need to give it an hour and see what evolves. Long, spicy finish with medium tannins.

One of the most perfectly balanced light white wines I’ve ever tasted.
Far too easy to drink, would pair excellently with fresh salad dishes.
The perfect wine for entertaining yourself on a sunny day...

I so rarely encounter a great Gewürztraminer from outside Alsace, and when I do, it’s most likely from the Anderson Valley. This Phillips Hill bottling is no exception. Striking in its aromatic intensity - dried ginger, rose water, thyme, pine sap, crushed stones, and white pepper - the wine is vinified nearly bone dry, resulting in a taut, lean structure that moves with spritely dynamism. The floral and spice tones meet fruitier flavors on the palate - white peach and lemon soda. A far cry from the California Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs that dominate the Golden State’s white wine scene. — 7 years ago
Very good, smooth but with generous flavours. Slightly sweet. Goes well with a variety of plate and BBQ. — 9 years ago

2014 vintage is a stunner. Beautiful crystalline straw color, with crisp apple aromatics and ripe peach and lemon peel on the palette. Leesy and rich without any hint of heaviness. Great lifted finish. #phillipshill is on a roll. — 10 years ago

So good! I always drink it too fast. Finally let it open up I. The glass tonight. Beautiful. Red fruit, slight floral notes and just a bit of earth. — 5 years ago
