Syrah may well be the most underrated and underappreciated of the handful of classic, noble red varieties in the world. Its reputation has been tarnished because of the fall from grace of Australian Shiraz due to overabundance on the U.S. market. In this seminar, Master of Wine Sandy Block will explore just how great this varietal is, tasting examples from its homeland in the Rhone Valley, some great expressions from California and Australia, and a variety of fine Syrah from unexpected origins, such as Spain, New Zealand, Israel, the Pacific Northwest, and South America. Includes wine tasting and talk.
