Gotta love someone who recognizes such an item while shopping - and gets you one for the bar.

I like the label. Can you give us a few more details. I have been on a wine kick lately and might have to give this one a try.

Varietal: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon/50% Syrah
Imported From Chile
13.7% Alcohol By Volume (ABV)

We read the label, which uses words like "powerhouse of fruit" and "an explosion of fruit in the mouth" so we figured it would get the job done. Plus, we've had good experiences with Syrahs and Cabs in the past, so we were on point.

The other thing that pushed us over the edge to buy it was when we read on the label that the wine was created by two sons who lost their mother to breast cancer, and they're donating 50 cents from every bottle sold to breast cancer research. Depending on what figure you pay attention to they've raised as much as 3/4 of a million dollars, and that was enough to make us want to buy, especially since we have a loved one who's battling cancer. Who can't use a little peace of mind with their drink?

Tasting Notes: As the label promised, this wine is big and full of berries. We tasted blackberries and plums in the glass from the first to the final sip and it's a big, robust roundhouse to the taste buds. It might be a touch sweeter than some wines we usually go for, but that didn't detract from our overall enjoyment. One reviewer called Big Tattoo a "meat wine" because it paired so well with the spicy sausages we ate with it, but we recommend it for any flavorful foods, like pasta with red sauce. We'll definitely be buying Big Tattoo Red again, and we're hoping to get our hands on their other varieties (Big Tattoo White and Big Tattoo Syrah) ASAP.

Thanx for Posting that Review Larry! Sounds like a winner to me. I might have to see if I can find a bottle.

Snooper, if you don't mind me asking, where did the Mrs. find it?

Sorry for the late response Larry; she picked it up at World Market - Fresno, CA price was dirt cheap, like $5.00

Didn't buy it for the wine, she just loved the label and thought I might get a kick out of it.
