What does a Syrah taste like?

Syrah wines have a full flavor profile, and they are dominated by powerful dark fruits, such as the blackberry, plum, and also blueberry, often combining them with a touch of pepper, smoke, or spicy notes, like clove or also black pepper. However, depending on the region and on the winemaking style, Syrah can also show many floral herbs like violet, or many earthy notes such as leather or truffle. The characteristic of the wine is its texture that is often rich and very velvety, the moderate to high tannins and the acidity of the wine contribute to its age-worthiness and its versatility in food pairing.
