Vincent Paris, whose first vintage was 1997, is as shy as his wines are bold. In his early 30's, he has retro sideburns, but not much else about this appellation's established star is "retro". Vincent Paris has moved into the upper echelon of growers in France's Northern Rhône Valley. His Crozes-Hermitage has all the hallmarks of delicious and aromatically vibrant Syrah.
