2 Brothers Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2005

Two brothers, Alex, a wine importer, and Erik, a tattoo artist, created this wine as a way to honor the memory of their mother. The pair lost their mother, Liliana S. Bartholomaus, to cancer in 2000. With their combined talents, they decided to label and bottle their own wine and donate the proceeds to a good cause. Together they created 2 Brothers Winery and Big Tattoo Wines. For every bottle sold, 50 cents is being donated in the name of Liliana S. Bartholomaus to charities benefitting the community where the wine is sold. Introduced in the winter of 2002, donations from Big Tattoo Wines have surpassed $900,000. The 2 Brothers Reserve wines are new in 2007. It is the goal of these wines to reach a wider audience and ultimately help to raise even more money for our charitable partners.

Vineyards
The vineyards are located in the Western portion of the Colchagua Valley and enjoy a large difference in daytime and night time temperatures during the maturation period. Breezes from over the Andes also aid in cooling the vines, but are not harmful in any way. The deep soil is structured in such a way to allow for good drainage.

Tasting Notes
Hints of Coffee accompany aromas of ripe red fruit immediately followed in the mouth by flavors of cherry and strawberry layered amidst this structured and balanced wine. Hints of cinnamon are present on the lingering finish full of flavors of sweet vanilla.
