This newly recognized AVA draws strength of character from terroir largely defined through its geological newness: crowned in tall volcanic peaks, the resultant mineral-rich, moisture-starved earth yields fruit in which lies the foundation for eminently drinkable wines.We believe that great wine begins in the soil that nurtures the vineyard. Bud Lawson, owner of Red Lava Vineyards and producer of Red Lava Syrah, knows soil.

From many generations of farmers, he began his informal training as a child through observation and involvement with his family. Through his career as a land surveyor and work with construction companies he increased his knowledge, and now concentrates his efforts on learning the unique characteristics of the soil in his vineyard.

Manzanita and pine groves surround the vines, providing shelter for native mountain lions, bobcats, quail, bald eagles and other wildlife. Hot days and cool nights, ideally modified by breezes from the nearby lakes, provide optimum growing conditions for producing our complex wine.Sustainable farming methods are used to preserve the integrity of the land. Obsidian boulders unearthed during clearing were used to build soil erosion walls. Lone pine trees in the vineyard were preserved.
