Sliced thin and piled atop creamy mashed potatoes, succulent, tender brisket makes a fantastic meal. Should you end up with any leftover brisket, it will be delicious on seeded buns with your favorite fixings.

Additional Wine Information

Story
Discovering delicious small-production wines from emerging regions is one of the goals of the Explorer Collection, which is why we are so excited about this unusual Syrah. Hailing from the Sierra Foothills in northeast California, it’s a terrific example of the area’s potential. Most of inland California is too warm to grow quality wine grapes, but the high elevations of the Sierra Nevada provide a relief from summer heat. Warm days, cool nights and lean mountain soil make an ideal home for full-bodied, heat-loving red-grape varieties like Syrah, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, which have become the region’s specialties. This Syrah comes from Chatom Vineyards, one of the area’s pioneering wineries, founded by Gay Callan in 1980. Chatom’s 65 acres of estate vineyards are located in Calaveras County’s stunning Esmeralda Valley. All of the fruit is vinified on-site at the winery. The Chatom Syrah’s serious structure, deep fruit, overall harmony and reasonable price make us look forward to more Sierra Foothill reds. Less than a thousand cases were produced.
Sense
Dense black-currant and plum notes have a light, pleasant hint of earth.
Savor
Full-bodied and rich, this Syrah offers mouth-filling black- and red-currant flavors inflected with earthy notes of licorice, cola and root beer. The bold flavors are girded by firm, ripe tannins.
Serve
Well-marbled steaks, roasts, chops and stews provide the protein and richness that will show off the Chatom Syrah at its finest. Lamb is a classic partner to Syrah; beef, with its meaty intensity, will also be terrific, as will pork and game. For accent ingredients, black pepper, mild spices, green herbs and earthy ingredients like mushrooms and root vegetables will complement the wine’s dense flavors and structured tannins. Try the wine with dishes like lamb tagine, spice-rubbed short ribs, five-spice pork or simply grilled lamb chops.
Serving Instructions
Serve a little cooler than room temperature: refrigerate the bottle for 10 minutes before serving.
