Recommended wine: Shiraz, Tempranillo, Zinfandel
Shiraz, Tempranillo, and Zinfandel are great choices for Beef Brisket. All these red wines can handle the meaty, smokey flavor of brisket. If you're talking traditional Jewish brisket, you'll want to look for a kosher red wine. The Luke Syrah with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
Luke Syrah
Luke Syrah is a full-bodied red packed with profound color, concentration of flavors and velvet elegance. The wine opens up rich and bold, suggesting pepper, licorice, dark chocolate, and spice followed by blackberry, blueberry, and candied fruits. A lengthy finish highlights the ripeness and complexity of the wine.
