MORGENROT CALIFORNIA

R H Phillips pioneered night harvesting in 1983 during a very warm harvest. To combat the 100 plus degree heat during the day, the winery experimented with picking grapes during the cool nighttime hours. Taping uorescent lights to an old tomato cart in the vineyards so that the pickers could see the grapes, the winemaking team discovered that night harvesting is the natural way to keep the fruit cool and retain the grapes’ fresh avors and crisp acidity.

R H Philips Cabernet Sauvignon
Packed with ripe red cherry fruit flavors. 14 months in seasoned oak barrels lend a subtle spice note which rounds out the palate. Thee tannins are soft and ripe.

Rex Golaith Zinfandel
Fruit is sourced from throughout California to deliver unique flavors from each viticultural area; each brings something unique to the blend.The old-vine fruit from Lodi provides an abundance of ripe blackberry and cherry flavors. The Central Coast provides earthy, spicy, coffee/mocha notes. The “dry farmed” fruit from the Sierra Foothills provides the depth and complexity that really rounds out the flavor profile.The wine is finished in 50% French and 50% American oak.
