Originating in France, Syrah has made it’s way around the world to wine regions in Washington, New Zealand, Italy and beyond. In Australia, the grape has been adopted as its signature red under the moniker Shiraz.
But no matter what you call what’s in your glass, there’s a Syrah or Shiraz for every drinker.
Seppeltsfield 2018 Shiraz (Barossa Valley); $22, 94 points. All the hallmarks of Barossa Shiraz are here without much fuss. A heady, fruity nose of cherry and currant ride a wave of baking spice, mocha, furniture polish and earthy, mineral tones. The tannins are powerful but fine and nicely textured. There’s also enough polish here for a bit of cellaring. Drink now–2025. Legend Imports.
