From: Western Australia
Description:
Bouquet of black raspberry and spices - on the palate a hint of pepper and minerality with almost sweet dark berry flavors. Long finish. Much more fruit forward than a French Syrah (see northern Rhone)
Fact: Shiraz and Syrah are the same grape. Syrah is known for its intense and distinctive perfume reminiscent of briar fruit, tar, spice and black pepper and its firm structure. Food Pairing: Works well with fuller richer food. Might also try it with the Tagliatelle Bolognese? |
