After 18 intense years of solely focusing on world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, gargantua is Bergström Wines' effort to craft world class Syrah from the West Coast of the United States.
Fruit sourced from the Bien Nacido Vineyard in Santa Maria, CA.
Inky black cherry in color. Cured meats, white pepper, subtle poblano spice, dried oregano, kalamata olives, blackberry, pipe tobacco, French-roast coffee, and baker's chocolate.
In the mouth, this is a fantastic, herculean Syrah with folded textural complexity and fine but copious tannins that support a dark-fruited beauty of a wine that demands a pairing of char-grilled red meats.
