J Opi Reserve Malbec 2017

A few years ago, Opi Sadler’s ‘regular’ Malbec won a big trophy at the Decanter World Wine Awards: “Mouthfilling, complex, and amazing value,” raved judges.

Now for a delicious step up in quality …

For this limited-edition Reserve, Opi (whose peers call him the Malbec ‘Magician’) hand harvested the premium fruit from select old vines in his highest vineyards, then gave the wine an extra-long, 15-month slumber in fine French and U.S. oak. The result is a Malbec with serious color and depth of flavor.

With a pretty lengthy list of international accolades to its name (including impressive double-gold medals), it’s definitely a red that’s ready to make a statement. We think it’s never tasted better, too. Look for that trademark supple texture, with luscious plum and blackberry, all framed by smoky, vanilla-spice plus a long, chocolatey finish. It’s the perfect pairing for steaks or meaty pastas.

Fair warning: Opi’s wines are always big sellers, and he makes very few cases of his extra-special Reserve. Hurry to secure yours.
