Phillips Hill Estates
Owner and winemaker Toby Hill pursued a career in art but gave up the harried lifestyle and returned to California where he grew up. He found some property in the Anderson Valley, built a house and adjacent art studio and kicked back. When some unfinished Pinot Noir became available in 2002, the studio was transformed into a winery and he released his first Pinot Noir. He now sources grapes from the Oppenlander Vineyard on Shandel Ranch in Comptche's Surprise Valley (just north of Anderson Valley), and the Toulouse Vineyard in the Anderson Valley. The Phillips Hill winery is located in Philo. John Pepe assists Hill in the winemaking duties. I have been very impressed with the two Pinot Noirs which are for sale on the website. Tasting by appointment.
