I love
Friday nights. And to celebrate the beginning of another much anticipated weekend, I
opened Les Halos de
Jupiter Costières de Nîmes. Having all the
yummy qualities that make a Rhone wine worth buying--enticing dark color, deep black
fruit flavor, and notes of herbs and spice followed by a nice, long finish--Robert
Parker gave this palate pleasing Grenache/Syrah blend 89
points. I guess it is safe to say RP and I agree: this is $14
very well spent.
Avg. Cost: $13.99
Halos de Jupiter Costieres de Nimes Rouge, 2009
An outstanding bargain, 60%
Grenache and the rest Syrah and Carignan. It is a pretty, Burgundian-styled
effort displaying lots of forest floor, red berry and cherry notes intermixed
with a hint of spring flowers, good density, medium body and soft tannin. -Wine Advocate
