Vincent Paris started off as a boy with an insatiable hunger for winemaking. As a kid growing up in the Rhone, he loved walking the vineyards as a kid, getting lost in the rows and seeing the vines change along with the seasons. He decided early, that’s all he wanted to do. Make wine.
Lucky for Paris, his uncle is Robert Michel, a legendary Cornas producer who gets to work daily on the famous ‘Genale’ Vineyard. After studying for a few vintages under his uncle, Vincent learned the tricks of the trade and was ready to cut loose and start his own gig. It didn’t take long before “Robert’s nephew” turned into Vincent Paris, the young winemaking star. Parker’s Wine Advocate emphatically declared, “They’re some of the top wines in the appellation and readers need to get on this young vigneron’s bandwagon!” That would be all he needed.
Paris purchased eight hectares of land from his grandfather (most vines of 100+ years in age) and went to work making Syrah, most of it Cornas. As we know with Cornas, those can be pricey. But where Paris is a magician is with his ‘Syrah Collines Rhodaniennes’ a super expressive and silky Syrah made exclusively from young Crozes Hermitage vines. And his reason for making this wine is hilarious.
With so many of his Cornas instantly sold out immediately upon release, Paris was worried he wouldn’t be able to attract any new customers. That’s where his younger wines came in. He decided he could showcase a different style of Syrah that could be enjoyed right away and also bring in some new fans in the process.

People often think of Northern Rhône reds, made of the syrah grape, as wines for cold weather. But I crave them year-round. It’s not a bad idea, though, to look for a lighter weight, easygoing syrah for the summer like this bottle from the négociant arm of Vincent Paris, a very good Cornas producer. The Collines Rhodaniennes is an appellation for the greater Northern Rhône area, often used for grapes that weren’t grown in areas of higher status. The wines lack the distinctive qualities and structure of those appellations. What remains? Merely the savory deliciousness of Northern Rhône syrah, which is a beautiful thing with burgers or grilled lamb chops.
The next great Big Red in the long line from the Wagner family of Caymus fame. Like the previous Quilt offerings, this represents Joe Wagner’s pick of the litter of available vineyard sources that puts his inimitable blending abilities into play. In a vintage as easy and as heralded as 2021, the only difficulty the Wagners had was finding things they didn’t like. So explosive and juicy on the palate with a lush mouthfeel and silky smooth tannins. A winner for Napa and Big Red fans alike.
Made by Bo and Heidi Barrett’s rising superstar daughter, Chelsea, this Right Bank ode is a gorgeous Bordeaux blend that leads with dark fruits like black cherry and plum with clove, hints of vanilla and hint of nutmeg. It’s a very round, plush mouthfeel with smooth, silky tannins that expertly support the wine along with a rich, dark-fruited finish that steals the show.
Every year since inception, Anne Sery’s Trousse Chemise wines have wowed folks from Coast to Coast (like Daniel Boulud who has an exclusive with her). But the newly released 2021 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir really kicks things up a couple notches. It’s bursting with an intense, berried up fruitiness– when people compare Oregon as the closest thing to Burgundy in America, this is what they are talking about. Juicy and vibrant, with even more expressive floral, red fruit and sage aromatics.

“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Bello is a more Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot, and the balance Cabernet Franc, all hitting 13.7% alcohol. As usual, it was aged in new American oak. It shows the higher Cabernet component and is deep purple-hued and tight and closed, with a primordial vibe to its dark blue and black fruit, smoked tobacco, vanilla bean, graphite, and cedarwood aromatics. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has terrific overall balance, building, ripe tannins, a good sense of freshness, and outstanding length. It reminds me slightly of the 2018 with its more elegant, streamlined profile, but I expect this to build with bottle age, and it should have 2-3 decades of overall longevity.” – Jeb Dunnuck
