Big
Tattoo Red 2006
This wine comes from two brothers, Alex,
a wine importer, and Erik, a tattoo artist,
who wanted to pay homage to their mother
who lost her battle with cancer. They
decided to label and bottle their own
wine and donate the proceeds to a good
cause. With their combined talents and
effort, they created Big Tattoo Red.
For every bottle sold, 50 cents is donated
in the name of Liliana S. Bartholomaus
to local charities nationwide benefiting
the communities where the wine is sold.
Introduced in the Winter of 2002, sales
from Big Tattoo Wines have over $1,157,000
for charity.
Vineyards
The vineyards are located in Colchagua,
in the Central Valley. Vineyard management
is ecologically friendly. The vines
are vertically-trellised and yields
are controlled in order to maximize
the quality of hand-picked fruit.
Tasting Notes
This blend packs a powerhouse of fruit.
Aromas of ripe berry fruit and plums
set the stage for an explosion of
fruit in the mouth with flavors of
blackberries, black cherries and
cocoa that all come together on the
rich and lingering finish.
