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 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 2009 Against the Wind Reserve Cabernet Franc (Napa Valley)
- $45
A big, strong, extracted Cab Franc that floods the mouth with blackberry and cherry jam flavors, with the smoky caramel from oak barrel aging. Doesn’t leave much to the imagination, but it sure is delicious and easy to drink.

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.

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.
