Big
Tattoo White 2007
The Big Tattoo project began in 2002 with
the release of the debut product, Big
Tattoo Red. With great
success, Big Tattoo Red raised over $300,000
for charity during its first two years.
Big Tattoo White
debuted in 2005 with the 2003 vintage.
This wine comes from two brothers, Alex,
a wine importer, and Erik, a tattoo artist.
Together they created
Big Tattoo White, in honor of their mother,
Liliana, who passed away from cancer
in 2000. Alex created
the blend and Erik designed the label
using Liliana's favorite symbol, the
Fleur de Lys. For every bottle
sold, the brothers donate 50 cents, in
the name of Liliana S. Bartholomaus,
to charities that benefit the
community where the wine is sold. To
date, Big Tattoo Wines has raised more
than $1 Million for charity.
Vineyards
The 2007 vintage of Big Tattoo White
comes from California. Grapes are sourced
31% from Monterey County,
44% from Santa Barbara County and 24%
from Anderson Valley.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of orange zest and ripe stone
fruit leap from the glass and give way
in the palate to flavors of
peach, apricot and lychee nut all blending
together on the bright fruit-filled finish.
