Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Aromas of bright berry fruit and electric-purple color. Like swallowing a whole bowl of mixed ripe berries at once. Big body and mouthfeel with layers of Zin-like flavor and hints of roasted cocoa bean. Lots of ripe tannins on the mouthwatering finish. Pairs well with grilled meats such as beef and pork, smoked ham, and even pizza with meat toppings. Incredibly fun to drink.About the Name/Label
Tikal is named after Ernesto’s son. Ernesto named this particular wine "Corazon" ("Heart") since the Bonarda and Malbec grapes have long been at the heart of Argentina’s great winemaking tradition. The original artwork of this passionate dancing couple was created by Ernesto’s close friend and artist, Ariel Mlynarzewicz. We have no idea how to pronounce Ariel’s last name.Recent Press & Reviews of Tikal Corazon
