“If Six Was Nine is another excellent effort… this full throttle, impressive Cabernet can be drunk now and over the next 15 years. Time to turn on the music.” – Wine Advocate

Sorry, TS, but if the world ends today, it’s absolutely with a BANG and not a whimper. Because Operative favorite World’s End is back at our lowest price ever… with triple big little accolades to spare!

Released at $75, now yours AT 55% OFF?! If richly layered, “culty” Cabs are your jam, and you don’t fancy paying $100+, then you need to get down on this. World’s End never lasts long around these parts.

As this most recent raving CellarTracker 95 point review fresh from February states, time has done wonders to this “dark and deliberate” Cab that’s “outstanding in quality” and “promising a long evolution ahead.” Another states it “drinks like a Cali-cab at twice the price.” At today’s price, they might need to bump that to three or four times. The love for World’s End in our group is real, too.

Jeb Dunnuck wants everyone to know that “World’s End is the Napa venture of Jonathan Maltus, probably best known for his Bordeaux estate Le Dôme… much of the fruit comes from superstar grower Andy Beckstoffer, which comes at a price, and the length of the relationship has a bearing on what fruit you have access to.”

Amplified by fruit from said famed vineyards, this has all the power you want. With sun-drenched black plums and black cherry compote up front. Add a touch of chocolate-dusted leather, worn tobacco, and warm, toasty oak spices to firm up complexity. Round, soft, juicy, and expansive on the palate, it carries into a filibuster finish. To be clear, this is a one-hundred percent complete, pedal-to-the-metal Cab.

World’s End is a project by winemaking force Jonathan Maltus. The man has a LONG list of 95-100-point wines. He emerged as a leading visionary from the 1990s ‘garagiste’ period in St.-Émilion, where he pushed the limits and broke all the traditional rules to set new expectations for quality and price. He does it all, most notably across places like Le Dôme and Teyssier, and other top Right Bank estates. World’s End is his Napa outfit, connected with all the right sources, including Beckstoffer To Kalon, Georges III, and Stagecoach’s Pritchard Hill side.

Like their other big hits themed as tributes to classics, If Six carries on Jimi Hendrix Experience from 1967. Like his rebellious rejection of societal conformity then, today we’re rejecting the $75 price.

What Jeb said, “a ripe, sexy, satisfying Cabernet, as well as a good value.”

If only he saw OUR PRICE…

91+ Points – Wine Advocate “The most promising of the three vintages reviewed here, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon If Six Was Nine is more primary and bolder, with more purity to its cedar and cassis aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, rich, and structured, it looks to have at least a decade of life ahead. Drink 2023-2035.”

91 Points – The Wine Independent “The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon If Six Was Nine is deep garnet-purple in color. The nose is wonderfully expressive, delivering scents of violets, chocolate box, creme de cassis, and blueberries with a touch of cloves. Full-bodied, it is bright and juicy, with lovely freshness and plush tannins, finishing with great length. Drink 2023-2036.”

91 Points – Jeb Dunnuck “The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve If Six Was Nine brings more voluptuousness and opulence, with ripe, darker currants, smoked tobacco, and lead pencil notes as well as medium to full-bodied richness on the palate. It’s a ripe, sexy, satisfying Cabernet, as well as a good value.”
