They all do.
Well, except for the "mist" kits.
You likely mean your WE LE2012 Italian Nebbiolo with grapeskins. It is good after a year, isn't it?So far I think my WE LE 2012 Barolo came as close to a commercial wine taste than any of my other 15 or so.
So far I think my WE LE 2012 Barolo came as close to a commercial wine taste than any of my other 15 or so. The cellar craft sterling GSM with skins is a very close second. I would say they would both be about a $10 bottle. All my wines are less than 18 months old however.

I just had a few small glasses of my 2013 Cellar Craft Red Mountain Cab. It is 13 months since pitching the yeast. I remarked to my wife that I thought it was one of the few kits I have made that is equal to a $15 to $25 bottle of cabernet sauvignon. And I expect it to get better.
For most of the other kits (not all) I have made, I felt the quality fell between what I can buy commercially for $8 to $12. But that's just me. YMMV
The secret to making excellent kit wines may not be the kit or the varietal, but letting it mature fully. But what fun is there in that?
