Tikal Patriota Malbec/ Bonarda
Varietal: Red Blend
Bottle Size: 750 mL
Region: Argentina
Medium Red Wines
Deep reddish purple with aromas of bright berry/cherry fruit. Like swallowing a whole bowl of mixed ripe berries at once. Big body yet very balanced, with luscious layers of raspberry, cherry, and cocoa flavors. Just a hint of baking spice at the end brings it all together. Pairs well with grilled meats such as beef and pork, smoked ham, and even pizza with meat toppings. Incredibly fun to drink!
Blend: 40% Bonarda, 60% Malbec
2013 Vintage Scores:
"Sweet and gracious, this blend of malbec and bonarda expands in the mouth with its flavors of candied cherries and spices. Once you pass this soft wave of fruit, the tannins appear behind it, with a structure that’s imposing enough to take on grilled meats."
Wine and Spirits: 90 Points
Staff Review:
Definetly something different with both pieces of power and finese. Very ripe dark fruits upfront with a handful of spice in the finish making it a great BBQ wine. Over-delivers for the price!! Enjoy!
