Red Lava, Red Hills Lake County 2003“…Concentrated and intense in a heady blackberry fruit component.” —Wine & Spirits Magazine “This vineyard continues to produce a Syrah that is highly extracted with concentrated color, depth and complexity one would expect from the Red Hills Lake County AVA.” —Mark Burch, Winemaker Gold Medal, 2005 San Francisco International Wine Competition Drinking beautifully now and will continue to improve over the years. (Bin 94214) About Red Lava VineyardsThe label captures the qualities and characteristics of three elements of the vineyard and the bold presence of Mt. Konocti, California's oldest volcano. The vineyard is named as tribute to the brilliant red lava flows of the now dormant Mt. Konocti volcano. These lava flows cooled for thousands of years to create the red soil depicted on the bottle. The shiny black background depicts the glasslike black obsidian stones, formed when the lava cooled, and mixed in the soil. Finally, the white accent signifies the presence of rare gems that sparkle on the slopes known as Konocti Diamonds, products of Mt. Konocti’s volcanic eruptions and found no where else in the world. |
