Is syrah generally a sweet wine?
Syrah and Shiraz are considered dry red wines. Syrah is a hearty red wine noted for its complexity of aromas and flavors including raspberry, plum, smoke, and white pepper. Those with noted raspberry flavors will seem less dry because of the fruitiness. Your wine should go well with eaten with duck, wild game, steak, and beef.
