Phillips 1999 Syrah (California)
- $16
Welcoming blackberry, anise, smoke and mustard-seed aromas lead into a tart blueberry-blackberry palate accented by paprika and cranberry notes. Medium-weight and lively, the wine finishes with toasty vanilla, cedar and cherry flavors. Enjoy it now, while it’s young.

Phillips 1997 Reserve Merlot (California)
- $15
Toast and blueberries make for a welcoming bouquet; in the mouth the oak emerges as the dominant flavor, turning caramel-like. Some fine tannins should drop out in a year or so, making it worthy of short-term cellaring if you like your wines on the woody side.

Phillips 1999 Old Vine Zinfandel (Lodi)
- $20
The Phillips has burnt cracker and gingerbread notes on the nose, plus ripe mixed berries and toast flavors from palate to finish. A lightweight one-trick pony, but absolutely drinkable. —D.M.

Phillips 1999 Reserve Chardonnay (Lodi)
- $20
Awkward and earthy, with off-putting medicinal, herbal aromas and flavors. There are some apple notes but they are drowned in tart, chemically ones. This is a difficult wine to say anything nice about.
