Big Tattoo Red

 

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.
