WTN: Gargantua Syrah OR '22....(short/boring)

TomTierney brought this to share at our Italian tasting last night at Laura's Pig+Fig:
1. gargantua Syrah OR (13.3%; www.GargantuaWine.com) Josh Bergstrom/Newberg/OR 2022: Very dark/near black color; intense peppery/c-c Syrah/blackberry/very spicy quite Rhonish rather Hermitage-like slight earthy complex nose; quite tart/tangy very Rhonish rather extracted/structure quite c-c Syrah/black pepper/blackberry/blueberry/Syrah/very spicy some complex flavor w/ ample chewey tannins; very long quite tannic/extracted/structured rather c-c Syrah/black pepper finish that mocks flavor; a very young extracted Syrah that needs at least 5-10 yrs, maybe longer; rather atypical of US Syrah & resembles a lot a young Hermitage or Rayas Syrah w/o the Rhonish perfume those show; a extraordinary Syrah. $75.00 (vTT)

More garbledflout from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Gargantua is Josh Bergstrom, OR Pinot producer, venture into the world of Syrah. He also makes a CA Syrah from BienNacido vnyd. This one comes from assorted somewhat old OR vnyds.
I was mightily impressed by the rendition of US Syrah. It shows an extraction level similar to Alban/SQN Syrah but the acidity level suggests it will age far better than those Syrahs. A real Syrah discovery for me.

Had never heard of this winery but when I saw the name of the wine I had to immediately go there to see if they also had a wine called Pantagruel - and of course they do! It's been decades since I read Rabelais works but now I may have to dig it out of my library and reread it. Sadly I don't see the wines in my market area.

Sounds terrific, though I'll admit I'd have passed it up just because of that name. It implies something that isn't in my wheelhouse, like monster zins.
