Josh Bergström's Notes
The 2016 California State gargantua Syrah is an opaque dark black cherry in color. This intense wine leads with an enormous bouquet of black olive tapenade, saucisson, green peppercorns, charred meat, iodine, crème de cassis, and a fantastic southern Californian garrigue character of dried and fresh savory herbs, sage, and lavender. The wine is savory and dark fruited, with polished fine tannins and a silky salty character very representative of its proximity to the ocean. Drink Now - 2029+. Alcohol: 13.9%
