Red Lava Syrah Reserve 2004
Lake County, California
Red soils, red wine; the iron rich earth of Red Lava Vineyards could be from a Mars probe photo, if it weren’t for the rows of Syrah vines. The lava doesn’t hold water well, so the vines dig deep for sustenance, and that makes for intensity and richness in the wines. As an added bonus the entire vineyard slopes toward the sun in the south, soaking up energy to ripen the grapes. In the end, it makes a full-bodied wine with complex aromas of blackberry, blueberry, pepper, slate, and cedar. The fruit notes dominate on the palate, which is lush and round, with good length. Rich and smooth, this is a cocktail party favorite.

Serve the Red Lava Reserve Syrah with cheesesteak sandwiches, burgers, or other grilled meats – sausages, barbecued chicken, or even ribs. If you prefer cheese, look for smoked Gouda, Manchego, or Provolone.
