		<description>Erin, thanks for the correction.

I&#039;ve seen wines from Rock Rabbit labeled as &quot;Shiraz&quot; and &quot;Syrah&quot;, but I&#039;ve never seen both in the same vintage. In fact the &quot;Syrah&quot; moniker seems to have been dropped as of a few years ago.  

My reference &quot;Syrah (aka Shiraz)&quot; was to make clear that the wine is from California, where the varietal is called &quot;Syrah&quot;, and not from Australia, where it is called &quot;Shiraz&quot;. Whatever it&#039;s called, it&#039;s the same grape. 

But thanks for clarifying -- the way things appear, Rock Rabbit changed the name for marketing purposes, rather than to identify &quot;Shiraz&quot; and &quot;Syrah&quot; as different wines / blends. If I can unearth any more information from Rock Rabbit, I&#039;ll post an update.</description>

		<description>They make a Shiraz and a Syrah. Your reference &quot;Syrah (a.k.a., Shiraz)&quot; is incorrect as the varietal composition is different for the 2 wines. Both use a small amount of Cab. Sau. grapes but the Shiraz is mostly shiraz grapes with a little pinot noir, the syrah mostly syrah grapes with a touch of petite syrah.</description>
