Syrah, also known as Shiraz, is a rich and flavorful dark-skinned grape variety grown throughout the world. The style and flavor profile of wines made from Syrah are influenced by the climate where the grapes are grown. Cool-climate Syrahs will have red fruit with peppery and spicey notes. Warmer climates will feature riper fruit flavors, like blackberry and plum with a lushness in the profile.
