BACKGROUND:
Randy and Cheryl Phillips are a legendary husband-wife winemaking team, pioneers who cemented their place in Paso Robles wine history by planting their 100-acre Miracles Ranch estate in 1992, long before the region gained its world-class reputation. With a philosophy rooted in their belief that “wines are grown, not made,” they bring decades of expertise to every bottle. Their award-winning vineyards, situated in the heart of the Willow Creek District AVA with its signature limestone soils, have long supplied grapes for iconic blends selling for upwards of $60 – now, through Angel funding, they share their estate-grown magic directly with you.
This powerful 2020 Zinfandel is a testament to Randy and Cheryl’s “grown, not made” approach, with minimal intervention in the winery to allow the fruit’s true character to shine. Handcrafted from their estate vineyards, this 100% Zinfandel boasts a 15.2% ABV, reflecting the optimal ripeness achieved in Paso Robles. The wine is aged in oak, contributing to its savory, smooth finish and creating a robust, flavorful profile designed for immediate enjoyment or short-term aging.
