Lava Cap Winery

Made from lava cap’s estate grapes, w/ small amounts of petite sirah, zinfandel & cabernet franc, this is a bright, earthy barbera. Rustic & juicy w/ mouth filling plum & blackberry pie flavors, it’s not shy, but entirely balanced, a treat for seekers of california barbera.

A nose of mint, chocolate, raspberry, black pepper, & clove. Elegant, seamless, rich “mouth feel” w/ expansive flavor & supple. This wine will age beautifully in the cellar. Pair w/ steak, wild mushroom soup & rack of lamb.

The 2010 estate merlot is a robust, nicely structured wine w/ aromas of anise, mint, chocolate, cedar, & cherry. On the palate, lovely layers of raspberry, cherry, & chocolate. Enjoy this wine to the fullest by pairing w/ braised short ribs, beef stew, or pork tenderloin.

Boysenberry, cherry & spice mingle amid a smooth structure. Try this wine w/ steak, pizza, melted cheese & tomato based dishes.

Lava‎ cap’s zinfandel reserve wine has a rich, briar patch bouquet, which supports lush fruits, berries & caramel. The bright acidity & lovely, soft tannins lead to a long & lingering finish on the palate. Try this wine w/ grilled meats & vegetables, lamb, duck, pasta w/ red sauce, & blue cheese.

Dark berry & dark chocolate aromas overlay the strawberry, red currant & clove flavors. Pair w/ braised pot roast, or turkey w/ mashed potatoes.

The wine is very aromatic w/ inviting flavors of apricot, nectarine, & mandarin orange. The crisp style makes it a great pairing w/ fresh fruit, light desserts, & smoked gouda or mozzarella.
