Domaine Jamet
Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Our recent meal at The Modern continued with the aid of this very food friendly Syrah from Domaine Jamet. Jamet is one of Cara's favorite producers, in part because of her penchant for barnyard notes (regressive childhood memories playing in the British countryside, maybe). Through the generosity of friends we have been lucky enough to try numerous vintages of the Cote Rôtie. The entry level Syrah was something new. It is distinctly Jamet in that the signature barnyard notes are present and distinctive. The difference lies in the structure. This wine is lightweight in structure and the tanins are barely there. It is extremely approachable in the near term, and was just gorgeous with my beef course at The Modern. I may snag a few bottles. Perhaps one to tuck into while the Cote Rôtie gains age.

Second time getting into this wine and loving the QPR. Definitely on the light side of northern Rhone but with all the aromatics you could want.

oh ok, it’s a low alcohol Syrah that is both cherry and fig and so, so pretty. WHAT
