Rich, luscious berries in this not overly heavy wine. Very smooth. First bottle was ready to go, but second bottle required time to open up. — 5 years ago

This pops with vibrant strawberry and kirsch, but continues reverberating with incense, citrus peel, damp chalk, and licorice. I would happily spend $15 again, but this gives me the confidence to trade up to Halos Gigondas or Chateauneuf du Pape the next time around.

Finally trying this label... Considering the esteem to which I hold Philippe Cambie and my love for Grenache, it's been a long time coming. Cambie, along with a Michel Gassier, produce Grenache-focused bottlings from nearly all the Southern Rhone AOCs under the Halos de Jupiter label. To Cambie, Grenache is the king of all grapes, thus the comparison to Jupiter (Zeus in Greek), forming the basis of the label. The halo symbolizes the appellations that best express the personality of Grenache. http://www.philippecambie.com/en/les-halos-de-jupiter/ — 8 years ago

A very tasty Syrah from Washington State. A nice collaboration of Michel Gassier and château Ste Michelle.

Showing black fruits with chocolates, earth, oak, licorice, metals, tobacco, coke, spices, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity and long legs.

Long spicy finish with round tannins and cherries.

Good by itself or with food. Needs time to open up properly and show the tannins.

Spicy and bold. Well balanced with nice complexity.

Still young and needs 3 to 5 years to mature properly, but so yummy already.

Mainly Syrah grapes with some Grenache, Mourvedre and Viognier.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

A really good red blend. It's just the right amount of dry. The flavor in your mouth afterwards is like the wine walked through with its boots on. Maybe a little bitter. — 5 years ago

Deep red colour with violet highlights. After decanting we were getting black fruit, cherry and earthy notes on the nose. Dense and velvety body offering a plated of chocolate, herbs, pencil lead with a fruity finish. Paired with steak frites. — 5 years ago
