The Syrah red grape varietal is one of the most versatile. Winemakers in Australia, the Rhone, and California Central Coast make wines with Syrah or Shiraz in different styles, but all produce special wines that are recognized for their unique qualities reflecting the winemaking techniques and terroir of each region.

Australian Shiraz is known for producing bold wines, with strong black fruit flavors, while the Rhone wines are typically more austere and savory. The diversity of California wine regions allows winemakers great flexibility, and a broad range of styles from producers such as Sine Qua Non, Saxum, and Alban Vineyards.
