Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.


Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Arnot-Roberts

Arnot-Roberts Wines is a joint project of schoolhood friends Duncan Arnot Meyers and Nathan Lee Roberts, who founded the winery in 2001 . Vineyard sources range from the Sonoma Coast, Santa Cruz Mountains, Napa Valley, and Moon Mountain AVAs.

They work with all their growers to encourage organic farming and minimize their environmental impact. Beginning in 2013, Arnot-Roberts became stewards of the Que Syrah site and now have complete control over the farming with the care of Greg Adams and his crew.

Production methods include generous use of whole clusters, natural fermentations, very limited use of new oak, and modest alcohol levels. For Que Syrah, the wine is vinified using native yeasts for primary and malolactic fermentation, 100% whole cluster, and aged 11 months in neutral French oak .

Wine region

Sonoma Coast, United States

The Sonoma Coast AVA sits along the Pacific in northern California. Que Syrah Vineyard is located above the town of Occidental, about three miles from the Pacific at 850 feet elevation , a cold site for Syrah.

Que Syrah is the oldest planting of Syrah on the Sonoma Coast, named as a play on the Spanish phrase "que sera, sera," meaning "whatever will be, will be," because there was no reference point at that time for Syrah planted in such a cold area .
