Less than $15

Feb. 20, 2013 VIÑA LEYDA Pinot Noir Leyda Valley Classic 2011 (85 points, $13)

Ripe yet cut, with well-integrated acidity supporting the mineral-tinged cherry and currant fruit character. Drink now. 7,000 cases imported. —Nathan Wesley


$15 to $30

Feb. 20, 2013 TREANA Marsanne-Viognier Central Coast 2010 (89 points, $20)

The rich peach, marmalade and apricot flavors are round and smooth, with good intensity and a softly refreshing acidity. Details of spice, mineral and toasted nut appear on the finish. Drink now through 2018. 6,700 cases made. —MaryAnn Worobiec


More than $30

Feb. 20, 2013 FRATELLI REVELLO Barolo 2008 (93 points, $40)

A big, brooding style, dense with tannins and focused on the chewy, licorice-and-tar side of the flavor spectrum. Offers plenty of sweet fruit, balanced in a broad-shouldered way, with a fine, savory finish. Best from 2016 through 2035. 1,500 cases made. —Bruce Sanderson
