Tobin James 1997 Blue Moon Reserve Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $35
Dark, intense and spicy, this Zin avoids the herbal qualities that can creep into Paso Robles reds. Briary blackberry fruit finishes with a touch of vanilla and some mild wood tannins. Only 150 cases made.

Tobin James 1997 Notorious Cabernet Franc (Paso Robles)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
Soft and juicy, with a lot of sweet, ripe, up-front fruit flavors, including blueberries. Deft and supple, with elegant, modulated tannins and low acidity. Creamy and rich, this is a very pleasant, fruit-driven wine that offers solid enjoyment. Editors’ Choice.

Tobin James 2000 James Gang Reserve Late Harvest Muscat (Paso Robles)
- $20
Smeels incredibly concentrated and sweet, with powerful apricot and honey aromas tinged with vanilla, spice and smoke. Tastes terrifically sweet, with a gooet, unctuous mouthfeel. There's some brilliant fruity flavor balanced by refreshing acidity, and the finish is long, sweet and smooth.

Tobin James 1997 Ranchito Canyon Vineyard Petite Sirah (Paso Robles)
- $18
Dark as you’d expect and chock full of elaborately crafted dark stone fruits. For all its outsized flavors, it’s soft in both acidity and tannins; yet, there’s something robust and chewy about it, enough so that it could accompany rich meats. It’s well made and nicely balanced.

Tobin James 1999 Estate Private Reserve Stash Red (Paso Robles)
- $38
Assertively fruity, with black cherry, blackcurrant, tobacco, smoke and sage notes. Drinks dry and flavorful, a nicely balanced wine of harmony and softness. Very low acidity, is the result of a warm climate. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Tobin James 2001 James Gang Reserve Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $28
Plush and juicy, the wine has a sweet edge that highlights its bright cherry, berry, cola, coffee, chocolate and spice flavors. Not quite Port, but a fun wine that would be better after dinner than alongside it.

Tobin James 2001 Dusi Vineyard Zinfandel (Paso Robles)
- $28

Tobin James 1998 James Gang Reserve Viognier (Paso Robles)
- $20
Has wildflower, citrus, honey, and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. A fruit-driven wine, dry and savory, and a little rough around the edges. May improve with a year or so of age.
