If the name of this wine suggests that it’s comforting to drink now, it’s perfectly apt. Although it hails from Oakville, whose Cabernets are among the most ageable in Napa Valley, this shows an accessibility that makes the black currant and cedar flavors immediately appealing. — (10/1/2012) —91

There’s a fleshy quality to this Cabernet that makes the term fluffy appropriate. It’s rich and dry, with voluptuous flavors of blackberries, black currants and cedar, as well as a touch of umami, dark chocolate and smoked meat. The tannins are fairly potent, suggesting 5–7 years in the cellar. ——S.H.(10/1/2011)—— 92
