{"title":"Syrah Wines","description":"Syrah, often known as Shiraz (Persian spelling), is an Iranian grape variety. Some historians doubt the notion that this winegrape was brought to the Rhône Valley in France during the Middle Ages. In any case, it is presently mostly produced in Australia and the United States. Although the ripe fruit can be very sweet, Syrah is a red dry wine (the fruit taste resembles blueberry or blackberry). Because of the wine-making process, the sweetness of the fruit does not affect the flavor.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe climate where the grapes are grown influences the style and flavor profile of Syrah wines, with moderate climates (such as the northern Rhone Valley and parts of the Walla Walla AVA in Washington State) producing medium to full-bodied wines with medium-plus to high levels of tannins and notes of blackberry, mint, and black pepper. Syrah is more consistently full-bodied in hot climes (such as Crete and Australia's Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale areas), with softer tannin, jammier fruit, and spice aromas of licorice, anise, and earthy leather. The acidity and tannin levels of Syrah wines produced in many places to have good age potential.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sine-qua-non-m-2015-santa-rita-hills-syrah","title":"Sine Qua Non \"M\" 2015 Santa Rita Hills Syrah","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 points Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e - The extended aged 2015 Syrah M is more backward and structured, with the 2015 vintage character front and center. Based on 90.6% Syrah and the rest Petite Sirah, Grenache, and Viognier, aged 38 months in 66% new oak, its deep purple color is followed by powerful notes of blackcurrants, blackberries, cedarwood, spiced meat, candle wax, and white flowers. It’s deep and full-bodied, with a huge mid-palate, building tannins, and one serious finish.

It shows a more up-front, exuberant, sexy style, yet there’s still ample underlying structure and depth. Reminding me of Guigal’s Côte Rôtie La Mouline (maybe amped up just slightly), drink it over the coming 15-20 years.
