Phil Coturri

Phil has built a reputation as the premier organic viticulturist in Sonoma Valley, if not all of Northern California. Phil founded Enterprise Vineyard Management in 1979, and today he and his staff serve some 20 clients and farm more than 400 acres of vineyard, all without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides.

Phil and Richard work together closely with the same goal: growing and making the best wine that can be made, from the best vineyards, in the most natural way possible. Richard says, “Clonal diversity and several non-contiguous sites scattered along half a mile of mountainside, with at least three distinctive soil types, create complexity and give tannin structure, flavor profile, and textural richness to Amapola Creek’s wines.”
