2024 Anonymous Wine Collective "Envy Block" Ballard Canyon Syrah

99% no. Today's yes is a Syrah.

When people hear "private label," they think corner-cutting. Anonymous is the opposite.

The wines come from top-tier California producers under NDA so we don't undercut their flagship pricing. You're paying 2-3X less for the same wine.

Ryan Woodhouse, our longtime CA buyer, turns down 99% of what crosses his desk. Bottles from winemakers he respects, brokers he's known for years, rockstar names. If the price isn't right or the wine isn't ready, the answer is no. I check in with him regularly to find out what, if anything, has cleared his bar. Usually nothing has.

What does make it through doesn't sit on the floor. Cab is king and the Napa releases have been runaway successes. Pinot flies too. The Chards, Sparkling, Zin, and the recent Sauv Blanc are every bit as good. Smaller categories, same quality, same value. Today we're releasing a Syrah.

This isn't a spreadsheet selection. It's decades of relationships across wine country, and a buyer who'd rather pass than settle.
