Return Policy

We are committed to crafting the best wines possible. With that, we are proud to offer a full satisfaction guarantee on all of the wines you purchase from us.

How do I return my wine?
If you're not 100% satisfied with any of the wines you receive from us, simply contact us at (707) 967-2626 within a year of purchase and we'll happily send you a replacement.

What do I do if the wine I ordered is damaged?
Despite our best efforts to secure wine shipments, wine bottles are fragile and issues arise from time to time. Contact our member services team and we will rectify the situation quickly.

Are there any restrictions?
Please note that we will happily replace any wines purchased directly from the winery, given that they are still available; however we cannot replace wines purchased from other wine retailers or restaurants. In rare instances, we reserve the right to deny our return policy to customers who we suspect are attempting to abuse the policy.

Our 2023 red blend is a grand slam of flavor. Inspired by the classic GSM style, this wine is both refined and inviting—an homage to Rhône tradition with a bold California twist. Sourced from the rolling hills and cool marine-influenced microclimates of the Santa Ynez Valley, it delivers a seamless fusion of savory depth and juicy, expressive fruit. With its all-star lineup of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and a touch of Carignan, Pinch Hitter steps up to the plate and knocks it out of the park.

Aromatically expressive, this blend opens with lifted red fruit, garrigue, and a dusting of cracked pepper. The palate is layered and textural, with Grenache contributing bright cherry and floral notes, Syrah lending depth and savory complexity, and Mourvèdre grounding the blend with earthy tannins and a hint of dried herbs. The finish is polished and mouthwatering, making it an ideal match for Mediterranean dishes such as grilled lamb and fire-roasted eggplant.

Barrel Aging 10 months

Vintage NotesRemarkably cool and late, the 2023 vintage produced wines of singular character and quality. The winter season started wet, with record rainstorms and mountaintop snowfall, leaving aquifers full and vines healthy. A cool spring indicated the later harvest to come, with a late start to budbreak and a long flowering period on the vines that was accompanied by wildflower super blooms. Through mild summer temperatures the vines set an ample crop load with strong canopy growth. After patient waiting and long hangtimes, warm weather came at just the right moment in fall to push ripeness to completion, resulting in wines that are deep, vital, and age worthy.
