A dark-skinned varietal grown to create commanding red wines.  Wines labeled Syrah, or the other common term of Shiraz, enjoy an abundance of popularity all over the world.

Taste:
This noble red grape produces bold, complex and long-lived wines.  Smooth yet rich with concentrated dark fruit flavors and hints of black pepper and smoke, it's easy to see why Syrah enjoys such popularity.

Pair:
Try Syrah with robust, hearty foods - from black bean chili with pork, to buffalo sliders or rich beef stews.
