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.
