Our Big Guy Red blend pairs beautifully with spare ribs, pork tenderloins, burgers, rib eyes &#8211; you get the idea! Don&#8217;t forget to share a tidbit with your faithful friend, and ENJOY!<BR><BR>Our Big Guy Red Wine is a blend from select lots drawn from California appellations. Bordeaux varietals Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec & Petit Verdot are blended with Syrah, a Rhone varietal. These lots display lively fruit aromas and flavors; enjoyable while young. The tannin structures will allow the wine to develop gracefully for several years.<BR><BR>Vintage Notes<BR>The 2005 harvest was the largest since 2000. A long, cool growing season and picture-perfect weather during much of September and October produced high-quality grapes that some winemakers say are reminiscent of the well-regarded 1997 crush &#8211; in other words &#8211; a vintage to remember.<BR><BR>Tasting Notes<BR>Our 2005 Big Guy is a blend created from several lots of wine drawn from the five traditional Bordeaux varietals. These lots display lively fruit aromas and flavors with a soft, supple tannin structure. The addition of Syrah makes this wine approachable at an earlier age, while still having a tannin structure that will allow the wine to develop for several years. A medium-bodied wine, with rich, complex flavors of fruit and toasty oak integrated with supple tannins, this wine is a delightful accompaniment to any occasion.<BR></P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/bellwine" TITLE="Bell Wine Cellars Products">Bell Wine Cellars Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://bellwine.com">Bell Wine Cellars</A> <BR>Bell Wine Cellars <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
