Syrah Under $25 in Boston

About Syrah

Syrah is a dark-skinned red wine grape, also sold under the name Shiraz, and The Wild Duck carries bottles under both names for Boston shoppers. The shelf includes Vincent Paris Syrah, Lindquist Syrah, Petite Petite Syrah, Billi Billi Shiraz, Thomas Goss Shiraz and Willow Bridge Shiraz. In general, the grape makes full-bodied reds with dark fruit and a peppery edge. Wines labelled Syrah often lean savory and structured, while those labelled Shiraz often taste riper and rounder, though styles vary by maker. Syrah suits grilled meats, stews and aged hard cheeses. You can shop it in store, or order it for pickup or delivery.
