Syrah

Syrah is one of the darkest, most full-bodied red wines. Its flavor tends to be really front heavy, which means it packs a flavor punch right away and then tapers off. Because Syrah is so full-bodied, it pairs well with bold foods such as blue cheese burgers, barbecue, roasted game, roasted vegetables or soft cheeses. The wine produced by the Shiraz and Syrah grape tends to be dark and full-bodied. Shiraz is usually more of a fruity, syrupy wine than Syrah.
