Narrative:
While descending on the eagul [arrival into] phx we encountered wake turbulence following an A321 aircraft. I disconnected the autopilot to maintain control of the aircraft. This may have caused us to be high on making the altitude constraints (10;000 feet to 8;000 feet window at esdee). No comment made by ATC; nor were there any traffic conflict. Flight continued uneventfully to phx.
