World’s End 2013 If Six Was Nine Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: World’s End / If Six Was Nine Reserve

Softened by 6% Merlot, this lovely concoction opens with a waft of smoky cigar box, becoming a bold, loud expression of the variety dotted in classic notes of cassis and cedar. A luxuriously velvety texture is the standout, though, supported by great structure and length.
