Syrah, known as shiraz in Australia, is a bold and full-bodied red wine with a spicy and peppery character. It typically has aromas of blackberry, cherry, and raspberry, with hints of tobacco, pepper, and leather. The color can range from deep purple to ruby red, and the taste can range from sweet to dry. Syrah typically pairs well with grilled meats, strong cheeses, and spicy dishes. It also goes great with a variety of desserts, such as dark chocolate truffles.
