J Opi Malbec 2021

Opi Sadler’s peers call him ‘The Magician,’ thanks to his wizard-like touch with Malbec. We call him our best-selling, most favorite winemaker. His signature Malbec announced him to the world (with great fanfare) after it won a big Decanter trophy a few years back—judges hailed it as “mouthfilling, complex and an amazing value.”

Here’s the next chapter, which is made with grapes lovingly hand harvested from one of Opi’s favorite vineyards in Mendoza’s premium Maipú district. After a brief period of oak aging, key to imparting subtle smoky-spice notes and delicious complexity, the 2021 edition is a fitting follow-up to the 91-point 2020 release, of which Gilbert & Gaillard judges wrote:

“Delicate smoky vanilla oak on the nose where a floral sensation of peony is entwined with juicy red berries. Elegant palate offering a successful fusion of fruit and oak. Supple tannins, savory floral finish. An alluring, modern wine.” And the latest news: this 2021 edition earned a 90-point gold medal from Gilbert & Gaillard judges.

Opi’s Malbec will be even more alluring when you pair it with food. This is the red to enjoy with a big steak, but roasted pork or hearty veggie dishes will be tasty, too.

With Malbec this good, you can’t be surprised that Opi has even more fans than awards. Order now before they claim all we have for themselves.
