What are some notable flavor profiles of cool-climate Syrah wines?

The virtues of cool-climate Syrahs are complexity in aroma, high acidity, and elegance of tannins. This type of wine usually displays tastes of black pepper, violet, and lively red fruit of raspberry and cranberry, as well as savory recalls of olive tapenade and smoked meat. The grapes, fruits of the cooler growing conditions, thus, hold well the acidity and freshness which helps in bringing structure and ageability to the wine, with the subtle nuances of terroir adding depth and character.
