Fifth generation Lodi grape growers, Michael and David refers to the Phillips brothers, who started their family winery in 1984, with no less than half a dozen assorted Phillips involved in the day to day business today. Known for their creatively named releases (Inkblot, Sloth, Rage), their Freakshow is a "turned up to 11" bottling, with a healthy dollop of Petite Sirah under the Cabernet.
