Syrah

Red Wine

A deep-colored red grape producing wines that range from savory and peppery to rich and concentrated. The same grape appears in the registry under two names depending on stylistic intent — "Syrah" for Rhône-influenced styles and "Shiraz" for Australian-influenced bottlings. California and Washington account for the majority of U.S. COLA filings.
