Winemaker Notes

The 2022 Michael David Earthquake Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerhouse red from Lodi, California, known for its high-octane concentration and bold profile. It lives up to its "Earthquake" branding with a dense, voluminous body and a high ABV of 15%. 

The 2022 vintage is described as "shattering the mold" with its off-the-charts intensity:

• Aroma: Opens with bold, layered scents of raspberry crème brûlée, cedar box, and hints of violet, dark chocolate, and cinnamon.

• Palate: Full-bodied and rich. You’ll find intense flavors of wild huckleberry, cherry pie, and juicy blackberries. There are unique "pastry" notes of butter croissant and toasted marshmallow, balanced by espresso and savory spices.

• Texture & Finish: The tannins are dry yet silky, leading into a "trembling," long, oak-inspired finish with lingering notes of mocha and spearmint cream.

About Winery

“Michael” and “David” are Michael and David Phillips, brothers whose family has farmed fruits and vegetables in the Lodi region since the 1850s and cultivated wine grapes for nearly a century. Michael and David constitute the 5th generation of grape growers in the Phillips family, with the 6th generation now joining the family business.

The Phillips family likes to emphasize the importance of quality wines with unique and fun labels. Wine makers Adam Mettler, Derek DeVries and Jeff Farthing specialize in producing Lodi’s famous Old Vine Zinfandels, as well as Rhone varietals such as Ancient Vine Cinsault and Syrah for Michael David Winery. 

Farming with future generations in mind, the Phillips have adopted some of the most progressive sustainable farming practices in the state. All 800 acres of the family’s vineyards are third party certified, and the state’s first per ton bonus was issued for contracted growers to follow in the family’s footsteps.
