Looks like a version of the Black Widow.

Yes it is a close relative and in the same Genus and also has a poisonous bite!

I found one that I demolished last week and another one today that excaped my spider spray.. I am in Napa, Ca. I know when you see red on a spider you should beware.. I wore gloves sometimes, now I wear them all the time when in the garden..
Thanks for helping me find out what I saw..
