Notes from Bergström:
Gargantuan is an enormous word, representing the concept of giant, massive, colossal and monumental. Our version of gargantua with the text intentionally presented in small, lower case type, speaks to the creation of wines that are balanced, reserved and driven by acidity and perfume.
I have selected great vineyard sites in Oregon, California, and Washington for their perfection of soils, exposure, climate and farming vis-à-vis, Syrah. The grapes are hand-picked, fermented in traditional whole cluster style (no destemming) and aged in large format French oak demi-muids and ovals.
Sourced from the Les Collines Vineyard, planted on the hillsides just outside of downtown Walla Walla.
