Shiraz

Shiraz is the name of an old city in Iran (Persia). That's probably where the grape variety originated. It is known in France and California as Syrah, and in Australia as Shiraz. The Rhône region of France has grown it for centuries. You can get some very nice Rhône wines that are 100% Syrah. In the new world, it is often a mixing partner with Cabernet Sauvignon. It's actually quite a nice wine by itself. Syrah can possess a mineral, blueberry, or sometimes spicy/peppery flavor. Some remarkable wines are being produced in Australia and South Africa with this grape.
