2009 vintage, apparently the first for this wine. From the cooler southern parts of Napa Valley, for what I could find on the internet this should be 80% cabernet franc, and the remainder Cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Much more evolved compared to the If six was nine cabernet sauvignon from the same vintage. Spicy nose with a hint of caramel, bacon and blackberry jam. Powerful and spicy in the mouth, good acidity but overall a bit monolithic. Good spicy length. Not in the same league as the "If six was nine" cabernet sauvignon, nor the impressive "Little Sister" Merlot. Abv.14,8 %.

World's End is the Napa project of Jonathan Maltus. He's better known for his work on the Right Bank of Bordeaux as the owner of Château Teyssier and creating Le Dôme. The 2013 Against The Wind was sufficiently beaten up by more than one critic, but I was still surprised when I fished it out of a discount bin for $9... he's made a wine that Robert Parker scored 100... I think I'll take the risk... Juicy plum with blueberry are the focus, followed by some Hershey's cocoa powder and roasted red pepper, with some tertiary molasses and dried violet.
