Syrah
Syrah also known as Shiraz is a dark-skinned grape variety grown throughout the world and used primarily to produce red wine. DNA profiling in 1999 found Syrah to be the offspring of two obscure grapes from southeastern France, Dureza and Mondeuse blanche. Syrah should not be confused with Petite Sirah, a synonym for Durif, a cross of Syrah with Peloursin dating from 1880.
The style and flavor profile of wines made from Syrah is influenced by the climate where the grapes are grown with moderate climates (such as the northern Rhone Valley and parts of the Walla Walla AVA in Washington State) tending to produce medium to full-bodied wines with medium-plus to high levels of tannins and flavors of blackberry, mint and black pepper notes. In hot climates (such as Crete, and the Barossa Valley of Australia), Syrah is more consistently full-bodied with softer tannin, jammier fruit and spice notes of liquorice, anise and earthy leather. In many regions the acidity and tannin levels of Syrah allow the wines produced from the grape to have favorable aging potential.

Syrah
by: Subway To SallyIn meinem Kopf dreht sich schon seit Tagen
ein fremder Klang
la?t mich nicht denken,
la?t mich nicht schlafen
so ein Gesang
ein Lied, das durch die Zeiten greift
ich hor sie rufen
ich kann sie horn
Flow my tears
fall from your springs
Exil'd for
ever let me mourn
Where
night's black bird her sad infamy sings
There let me live forlorn
in dieser Welt, wo alles grau verweht
grau verweht
klingt ihr Gesang in mir wie ein Gebet
wie ein Gebet
als wurde sie zu mir gehorn
ich hor sie rufen
ich kann sie horn
Down vain
lights shine you no more
No nights
are dark enough for those
That in
despair their last fortunes deplore
Light doth but shame disclose
in meinem Kopf dreht sich schon seit Tagen
so ein Gesang
und keiner kann die Kreise storn
ich hor sie rufen
