2001 - 2 Brothers "Big Tattoo Red" Colchagua

[Drew]

From Chile comes this value red blend of 50% Cab, 40% Syrah, and 10% Merlot. Clear garnet in color it boasts nice flavors of the brite spectrum. Brite plum, red berry and blackberry flavors with notes of cinnamon and vanilla with a touch of spice and a linguring finish make this a nice party/BBQ wine. 13.7% Alc/vol. $8.99 or $86 by the case locally.

sounds good, Drew, and love the name WD

Was named by the co-owners who got into barrell sampling too heavily and woke up the next morning with ALL of the South American flags represented on their Bods. WW [img]http://forum.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

Mike Dutton made the original post on this wine back in May of '02. He gives a lot of detail and backgroung on it. See: http://forum.wines.com/ubb2/Forum9/HTML/000452.html

We recently bought a bottle of the 2002 at $10.99 at the Belfast Coop after reading about it in one of wine magazines. The cause seemed good and the back label claims that @ $.50 per bottle, they had to date donated $75 K to the charities.

We popped it tonight after a full day and a lot of food on the road. With cheddar and munster cheese it went nicely. It was so smooth it was almost flabby. I guess that is what happens when you mix cheap Chilian cab with syrah and merlot. The syrah saved it. It is a very good value, and a very good cause. Would buy more, and drink it with other light meals.

I agree--this is pretty good stuff. But what is the cause?

[Innkeeper]

The 2 Brothers brought out the wine in memory of their mother who died of liver cancer. The $.50 per bottle goes to various cancer agencies and Hospice of Virginia.

I have an aunt who died of liver cancer. I'll get a bottle in her memory.
