World’s End is another tradition-defying winemaking venture from Jonathan Maltus, the English vigneron behind Château Teyssier and Le Dome, his highly praised St.-Émilion red. World’s End wines are sourced from prestigious vineyards located on Napa Valley’s west facing slopes and from the valley floor. Maltus took the name World’s End from a district in Chelsea, London, where he and his wife Lyn first lived. And since 2008 he has been producing single-vineyard Napa wines that combine French-inspired winemaking with Napa terroir. An iconoclast since he bought Château Teyssier in 1994 and started shaking up the staid St.-Émilion wine world, Maltus continues his rebel ways at World’s End, naming each wine after a famous a rock ‘n roll song and offering quotes on his bottles from such musical icons as Bob Marley and Van Morrison. Maltus’ Napa wines have earned him his usual highly complimentary reviews. Reviewing the World’s End 2010 Syrah and Cabernet Franc blend at 95 pts, Robert Parker noted that “Maltus marches to the beat of a different drummer and clearly has something special on his hands.”
