“There is no poetry among water drinkers.” – Horace, circa 20 BC

Wise words! And as we clock the last day of “Dry January” (not us personally, but some people do participate, so we’ve heard) what better way to treat yourself than THIS!?

What is this, you ask? A massive, inky, ‘thicc’ Cabernet of the highest caliber. For over $100 OFF?

The previous two vintages scored 94-95 points from the pros and this one? Well, nothing on the books but we think it’s all that, and more.

World’s End is a project by a winemaking force of nature: The legend, Jonathan Maltus.

The man has a LONG list of massively scored 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 Châteaux Le Dôme, Teyssier - and a few 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 2015 were Beckstoffer To Kalon, Beckstoffer Georges III, and as demonstrated here, Stagecoach’s Pritchard Hill side.

BLACK as night in the glass, this delivers a depth charge of explosive and concentrated fruit straight into your muzzle. Blackberry, black cherry, and blackcurrants collide with licorice, mocha, saddle leather, and toasty spicy French oak. Powerful and intense, this bruiser easily pulls its weight in tannins alone, against similarly priced $100-200 Napa Cabs. Yowza.

Oh, Pritchard Hill… by the way is basically Napa’s Beverly Hills, with the likes of Colgin, Dalla Valle, Bryant Family, Continuum, Chappellet within a stone’s throw. So a Cab under $50 (today only!) wearing the Pritchard Hill denomination is UNHEARD OF.

Did we mention the price? $101 OFF!! This is the type of deal you seize with abandon.
