Shipping Policy
| THE OJAI VINEYARD Shipping Policy | X |
-
Please use a shipping address where someone (21 years of
age or older) will be able to sign for your wine during the day.
Many of our
customers use a business address for this purpose as there is
always someone to sign. We only ship to the states found in the
chart below.
-
Shipping dates are determined to minimize the
risks of heat damage. This is why we will not ship during the
summer and early fall season unless it is 2nd day air or overnight
delivery.
-
Tentative dates for the Wine Club shipping is
February, May, October and December.
How shipping charges are
determined:
We are using Fedex for all our shipments. We
charge the exact price charged by Fedex. Our new ecommerce ordering
tool will calculate the shipping cost according to your Zip code,
the weight of your package and the type of shipping you choose (
Ground, express saver or 2nd day air)
If
your state is not listed above visit www.freethegrapes.com to find
out why and how to change it.
Also, some of our customers who live in states not listed above use
the following companies to get their wines:

www.fiftyfivedegrees.com

A little less known than some of our other vineyard designated syrahs, the fruit for this wine came from Verna’s Vineyard in Los Alamos, California, which is owned by Melville Winery. It is a very interesting vineyard with one part planted on the floor of the canyon, the other part planted on a steep hillside.
I usually think of vineyards planted on the flats to be inferior because they often grow with excessive vigor, however in this case the vines grow with difficultly and produce a small, quality crop—because they are planted on nutrient poor sand. Also, because the cool night air collects in the canyon bottom, the grapes from this area are later ripening, higher in acidity and amazingly intense in flavor and color. By contrast, the hillside fruit ripens earlier in the season and the wine made from it is soft and flamboyant, so the two sites compliment each other and together they made a terrific wine.
This is a big juicy, peppery, fruity syrah that is straightforwardly delicious. Drink it today or drink it in the future and you will not be disappointed.
