Information

Syrah is a red wine grape variety that is grown in various regions across the United States, including California, Washington, and Oregon. The wine produced from this grape is known for its rich and full-bodied flavors, with notes of dark fruit, black pepper, and sometimes even a hint of smoke. Depending on the climate and soil conditions of the region where it is grown, Syrah can range from being fruit-forward and approachable to being more complex and tannic. It is a wine that pairs well with a variety of foods, including grilled or roasted meats, stews, and hearty pasta dishes.

Fun facts

Syrah's versatility extends beyond the bottle, as it has become a favorite grape for winemakers to experiment with in blends, often complementing other varietals such as Grenache and Mourvèdre in Rhône-style blends or Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Bordeaux-style blends.
