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.

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
