Beyond the Label

Argentine legend Opi Sadler is beloved by customers and critics alike for his rich reds, and especially for Shiraz-Malbec-Cab blend The Waxed Bat. His sumptuous Waxed Bat Reserve is even richer, darker and more intense than the original. It also has dozens of illustrious accolades to its name.

Opi and his team hand harvested the ripest Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec from his favorite Mendoza vineyards. And since “Argentina has four excellent vintages in a row including 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020” (critic James Suckling), the quality of the grapes was truly top notch. After assembling the perfect blend, Opi aged the concentrated juice 12 months in his finest oak barrels.

Here's what France’s Gilbert & Gaillard judges had to say about a previous vintage :

“Smoke, ash and pepper on the nose accented by jammy red and black fruits. Very elegant palate both for the tannins and flavours. Intense fusion of fruit and oak with remarkable length.” Our two cents: its rich black fruit and toasty vanilla notes make it perfect for barbecued or roasted meats.

We also recommend you order now, before diehard Waxed Bat fans gobble up all of our cases…
