Ed's Red 2009 A.D.
The 2009 A.D. Ed’s Red is an enticing, full-bodied wine, with aromas of cherries, berries, currants and spice. As with previous vintages, this is a hefty wine, best paired with mammoth (or vegetarian equivalent) and made to give pleasure any day of the week. This Ed’s is a blend of 55% Dolcetto, 33% Zinfandel, 12% Syrah. The wine was sourced 55% from the Napa Valley, 33% Shenandoah Valley (in the Sierra Foothills) and 12% from the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County. 2,257 cases produced.

Basic Points | Weather | What to Do About the Weather | Reminder | Prices
- We usually ship your wine to you via Ground, FedEx 2Day or FedEx Cold Chain.
- We ship case orders (12 x 750ml or equivalent) via Ground for FREE subject to weather conditions. Please see below for details.
- We may hold shipments if weather conditions are unsuitable. Please see below.
- We can only ship where it is legal to do so and only to people aged 21 or above.
- An adult signature is always required to receive wine shipments. For this reason it is often easier to ship to a business address. We strongly recommend shipping to a business address.
- Please ensure your shipping address is correct.
Wine can be damaged if exposed to temperatures of 85°F or above. For that reason we do not ship Ground when the temperature is predicted to be at or above 85°F at our location, your location or en route between the two. Temperatures below freezing can also affect wine and we exercise caution in those conditions also.
If you are in no hurry for your wine, let us store it for you at no cost to you. We will notify you when conditions are suitable to ship your wine. The wine will almost certainly taste even better after a few weeks or months of additional aging.
If you want your wine more quickly, we use FedEx 2Day or FedEx Cold Chain. FedEx 2Day is quick, but more expensive. We keep rates as low as we can bear and make no charge for the packaging materials. If you order a case (12 x 750ml) we will charge what FedEx charges us minus what we would have paid for Ground.
FedEx Cold Chain is available June through October. FedEx Cold Chain shipments are sent via refrigerated truck from Adastra to the destination warehouse (the FedEx Hub nearest to you). From there they travel via FedEx Express truck for delivery by 10:30 a.m. to your shipping address. FedEx Cold Chain is less expensive than FedEx 2Day and is available to most destinations. However, it requires a lead time of about two weeks. Again, if you order a case, and opt for Cold Chain shipping, we will charge you what FedEx charges us minus what we would have paid for Ground.
With both FedEx Cold Chain and FedEx 2Day services, it is especially important that an adult be present to sign for receipt of the wine at the time of delivery. Otherwise the wine stays on the truck, thereby exposing it to the elements and defeating the purpose of the shipping method. An adult also needs to sign for receipt of Ground deliveries (but because of the time we ship, adverse weather is less of a consideration). If you can, ship to a business address.
Shipping wine is not like shipping a paperback book. Wine is perishable, heavy, the bottles are breakable and the deliveries require an adult signature. Protective shipping materials are required, and a single 750ml bottle weighs upwards of three pounds. We are always on the lookout for better ways of transporting wine, but meantime, please understand that proper shipping is a worthwhile investment to protect your purchase.
- Prices in the table below are for Ground and 2Day shipping. For a Cold Chain quote, please contact us
- If your state is not listed below, please contact us -- either we need to assign a custom rate or it's not legal to ship directly due to regulations. For the backstory on interstate shipping regulations, visit Freethegrapes.org.
