If you’ve had these World’s End wines, you know what a tremendous deal is in front of your eyes. This $111 discount has our brain in full meltdown mode!!

We recently quoted the Wine Advocate “…there can never be predetermined limits to the number of wines that can receive 100-points from a great region in a great year such as the 2016 vintage in Napa Valley.”

That was in regard to their To Kalon bottling. Same cult project. Same legendary vintage.

But what about their Reserve??

Once released at $150, now yours for UNDER $40?!

While you may have seen this wine discounted elsewhere, ours is far and away the best price ANYWHERE, ever.

For reasons we don’t know, these 2016s were never sent in for scores, yet it deserves big points just like its siblings. CellarTracker reviews are glowing: “big bold dark fruit… thick, mouth coating… cherry candy flavor REALLY stands out… rich, mouthcoating, and just a joy to drink… paired extremely well with grass-fed meatloaf and stir-fried broccoli.” It goes on and on…

An even better pairing? Standing rib roast! Like a standing ovation, black, blue, and purple berries, fresh and dried fruits galore, brooding, deep and suave tannins, gobs of chocolate and toffee, spice, elegance, and finesse rolls in like an 8,000 mile long atmospheric river in your mouth. The finish never stops. 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 1990’s “garagiste” period in St. Emilion, 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, Château Teyssier, and other top Right Bank estates. World’s End is his Napa outfit and he’s connected with all the right vineyards for sourcing, which in 2016 were Beckstoffer To Kalon, Beckstoffer Georges III, and Stagecoach (Pritchard Hill side).

Pro reviews of previous vintages are spot on, as this library release direct from the source is truly “a crucible of flavor and complexity” with very little to spare. The first World’s End sold out in a matter of hours. Like their other big hits, the name and theme are musical. If 6 Was 9 was a Jimi Hendrix Experience classic from 1967. So, we did as Jimi says in the namesake and piled up:

“I’ve got my own life to live, I’m the one that’s going to have to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.”

For us, that means drinking the good stuff! Salut!
