Cornas, Hermitage, Côte-Rotie… Syrah grows at home along the Rhône River. Succulent, dark in color and fruit, it makes some of France’s (and the world’s) best wines. But too often Syrah needs bottle time to soften and expand. Enter the 2014 Syrah from Vincent Paris. The grapes of young Crozes-Hermitage vines, made by the talented young Mr. Paris, sees no oak, only 9 months in stainless steel. Red fruit fills the palate, the tannins are fine, the body is medium, and acidity is light, making for a very drinkable Syrah to enjoy while the big village wines take their time in the cellar. – Daniel
