World's End 2009 Good Times, Bad Times Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- $100
Structurally, this is near perfect, with sturdy yet supple tannins and bright acids that perk up the flavors of blackberry jam, milk chocolate, red currants and crème de cassis. This is classic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon; it’s great to drink now, but it will also slowly evolve in the bottle over the next decade.

World's End 2009 Wavelength Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard Syrah-Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $69
This is one of the most successful Syrah-Cabernet Franc blends in California. The Syrah brings blueberry and bacon flavors, and the Cabernet provides the black currant note and the tannic backbone. It’s already delicious to drink, but allow it to breathe in a decanter for one or two hours.

World's End 2009 If Six Was Nine Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $45
This interesting Cabernet was grown in various parts of the valley, but you can detect a cool-climate influence in the acidity and especially the tannins, which are firm and astringent. Yet the wine, which contains small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, is remarkably ripe in blackberries, cherries and currants. Shows lots of elegance and complexity. Drink it…

World's End 2009 Crossfire Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- Cellar Selection
- $85
Lush and decadent, this wine has blackberry and blueberry jam, milk chocolate and toasty oak flavors. And even with all of the richness, the finish is dry and tannic. The gripping tannins suggest it can age for for 5–6 years.

World's End 2008 Good Times, Bad Times Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- $100
A huge wine, rich and tannic, stuffed with blackberry, cherry, currant, dark chocolate and oak flavors. While the tannins are considerable, they’re very finely crafted. This is a wine that should age. It was tasted three times, with varying results, so this score reflects an average.

World's End 2008 Wavelength Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard Syrah-Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)
- $69
This is a big, rich, thick young wine, impressive in sheer fruity extraction. Shows massive blackberry, currant, anise, black pepper and sandalwood flavors, with a bit of funk. The tannins are strong and refined. Could age well. Tasted three times, with inconsistent results.

World's End 2008 Crossfire Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)
- $85
Tough in tannins, hard in acids, and funky, this Cabernet is difficult to appreciate now despite obviously ripe blackberries and cassis. It resists the palate’s attempts to break it down, and finishes with a firm astringency. Maybe it will age out. Try after 2014.

World's End 2009 Little Sister Reserve Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
It tastes like the essence of the ripest blackberries, blueberries and cherries imaginable, a fruitiness that only modern winemaking techniques can accomplish. Beyond the sweet fruit, you’ll find soft tannins and a generally soft structure that make this wine drinkable now.
