2023 Anonymous Wine Collective Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
Review Date: 10-06-2026
Anderson Valley, to me, is a region finding the mid-point between the earthy, light, more serious side of Pinot Noir and its supple, rich, velvety counter-part. Cranberry, pomegranate and sour cherry jump from the glass in the Anderson Valley Anonymous Pinot Noir. Licorice, truffle and a hint of white pepper and cedar meld into the background. The slight tannin and lively acidity help to form a complex wine with a lingering finish.

2025 Anonymous Wine Collective Petaluma Gap Chardonnay
Review Date: 10-06-2026
Do you like your Chardonnay crisp, clean and minerally? Or do you prefer it with some oak influence? A touch of brioche or fresh lemon curd? With the new Anonymous Petaluma Gap Chardonnay, you don't need to choose. This wine is fresh, with crystalline purity. But has hints of toasty barrel fermentation, ripe tropical fruits and burnt sugar. The key word here is balance.

2022 K&L Discovery Series Italy, Super Tuscan
Review Date: 09-16-2025
This Super-Tuscan lets all three of the grapes in this blend sing. The Cabernet Sauvignon, making up the majority of this wine brings dark, black fruits of blackberry, black cherry and cassis. Petit Verdot gives a punch of dried violet and plummy purple fruits. The Cabernet Franc gives way to dust, white pepper and ripe pyrazines. The palate brings some intense structure - rich, but integrated tannin and powerful acidity. This wine could pair with a rare ribeye if the intention is drinking now but will absolutely benefit from some time in the cellar.
2020 K&L Discovery Series Italy, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Review Date: 09-16-2025
Beautiful rustic red-fruit notes of dried cranberry and tart cherry in the foreground. The background brings leather and pepper spice with earthy notes of truffle and dried herbs. The silky texture and integrated tannin make this wine incredibly drinkable now. The acidity, though on the high-side, is not searing, so this wine works as a perfect solo-sipper or could easily pair with something like spaghetti or pizza.
