World's End Cabernet Sauvignon If Six Was Nine Reserve Napa Valley 2016

TUBE SCREAMER. Super-Overdrive. Metal Zone. StroboStomp.

 All guitar effects pedal names* (I want that job), but man, do they apply to this opulent beast!! YES! $46 less than anyone else, $106 OFF RETAIL, a face-melting mega-distortion guitar solo of a deal on a well-known and loved Napa cab! Yes, back to the proverbial well of deep, dark, brooding magic-sauce that is the 2016 World’s End cabs...just a TINY bit though, so if you know these, snap snap SNAP them up.

As your humble scribe, you’d think I’d be immune to the ferocious pace of brain-melting deals that cross my desk every day. I’m not. The World’s End “If Six was Nine” Reserve is such a tremendous buy - we’re nearly speechless. Surprisingly fresh, yet churning, bubbling and gushing with molten puddles of cassis, dark chocolate, sweet tobacco, blackberry compote and black plums, the wine is everything we’ve come to expect from Jonathan Maltus (Google him), with a reputation forged of the culty Chateau LE DOME, Chateau Teyssier, and many more in Bordeaux (predominantly Right Bank). This is his Napa project, all named after songs he loves (If 6 Was 9 is a Jimi Hendrix all-time classic), and he accesses all the big vineyards (To-Kalon, George III, etc). The wines get big scores, but for whatever reason, this was never sent in for reviews. Anyways, that’s amazing news for YOU, because…well, THE PRICE!! For cab at this level? It’s tube-screaming, flanging canyon-delay, fuzz-driving pitch-shifting over-drive distortion silliness. While it lasts!
