gargantua Syrah
gargantua Syrah celebrates Syrah's rich heritage and the diversity of expression possible on the West Coast of the United States. Led by Josh Bergström's unwavering belief that American West Coast Syrah is unique, delicious, and belongs in the same conversation as the wines from France’s Northern Rhône Valley and other hallowed terroirs. To honor the purity of the Syrah fruit sourced from the best sites, we employ whole-cluster fermentation and neutral oak aging, allowing their unique character to shine through with finesse and complexity.

Winemaker Notes
Updated August 2023
This Syrah is a gorgeous deep purple color with cherry hues. Its classic Syrah aromatics are explosively ethereal: purple violets, stem spice, ginger chews, a bowl of fresh raspberries, and ripe blueberries. You find further intrigue in lovely, sweet spices, incense, mahogany, and cedar.
In the mouth, it is vibrant and juicy and plays on a higher register with red fruits and a lovely and fleshy acid/tannic structure, indicating that this wine has an exciting future ahead. It will perform and evolve for a very long time. Drink Now-2036+.
