My favorite in the lineup is the 2009 Petit Verdot Reserva (100%), which spent 12 months in French and American oak. Aromas of exotic spices, violets, incense, blackberry, and blueberry lead to a dense, ripe, spicy wine that is packed with flavor. It has enough structure to evolve for several years and will be at its best from 2013 to 2019. It is an outstanding value. Importer: Opici Wines, Glen Rock, NJ; tel. (201) 689-3256; www.opiciwines.com
