James Family Cellars 2007 Stony Point Vineyards Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Young and fresh in citrusy acidity, with forward fruit flavors of cherries, raspberries, pomegranates, cola, bacon and sweet oak. Good and dry and silky, but immature.

James Family Cellars 2008 Mounts Vineyard Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $35
Give this Syrah a good decant to take the edge off the fresh tannins and acids. It’s a gritty, resilient wine notable for its wealth of blackberry, black cherry, currant, beef jerky, anise and pepper flavors, accented with sweet, smoky, caramelized oak.

James Family Cellars 2009 Mounts Vineyard Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Everything about this Syrah is proper. It’s dry, cleanly tannic and velvety in texture, with herb-infused blackberry and blueberry flavors. You can even call it sophisticated. All it lacks is the excitement factor.

James Family Cellars 2008 Stony Point Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Fairly pale in color, this Pinot Noir is made in a lighter, drier, more elegant style than many. It’s crisp in acids, with the flavors of sweet cherry pie, cola, tangerine peel, cinnamon, anise and sandalwood. Grows increasingly complex as it warms in the glass, changing by the minute. A fascinating wine that should evolve over the next five years.

- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Here’s a Provençal-style rosé wine. It’s bone dry, crisp in acidity, and light in the mouth, with silky, slightly bitter flavors of cherryskin, tangerine zest, rose petal and pepper.

James Family Cellars 2010 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Sweet, rich and oaky, marked by flavors of buttered popcorn, toast, pineapple jam and ripe apricots. Made in the modern style that will be liked by many, but not particularly sophisticated.
