I had forgotten the occasion when this wine was given to me but finding it brought back great memories.<\/p>\n<p>While working in Draeger&#8217;s wine department on the Peninsula, Linda and I had the opportunity to visit with Marty Mathis at the family&#8217;s winery. At that time, it was a small bucolic oasis in the middle of ever-encroaching development on the edge of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5343\" title=\"Marty Mathis\" src=\"https:\/\/rjwine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/Marty-Mathis-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Marty Mathis\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>We tasted his wines and talked about Lateral, at that time a new project beyond the varietal Cabernet Sauvignon that we knew. Since then he has created other wines as well, such as this Syrah. I also remember climbing down a steep staircase into the bomb shelter which has doubled as a wine cellar over the years. The fond memories associated with wine are certainly more than of the liquid in the bottle.<\/p>\n<p>Bottled in Saratoga 14.3% a gift from a friend.
