The 2007 Non Confunditur reveals a darker profile than the Rosso in its grilled herbs, licorice, dark berries and French oak. The wine shows outstanding length and finessed tannins. This is another lovely bottle from Argiano, and a terrific value. Non Confunditur is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot and 20% Syrah. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200

Here’s a modern, mature wine with baked blackberry notes at the beginning that are followed by white pepper and exotic spice. There’s an attractively spicy quality to this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese that gives the wine a sharp, focused feel despite the ripeness of the fruit. Great price too. ——M.L.(3/1/2010)—— 89
