2011 Domaine Jamet Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes - France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes (6/5/2013)
I had the last pour from a bottle that had been open for a few hours and was told it had changed since opening, but I have no complaints. Medium weight, it isn't terribly complex, but is nimble and tasty, showing sour cherry and hints of blackberry and a little leather, with white pepper and a little bacon showing themselves on the finish. I know nothing about the vineyards where this comes from, but, like Ogier's La Rosine did at least through the 1999 vintage, which is the last one I had, offers surprising similarity to its bigger brother Cote Rotie, and should drink well for several years.
