2008 BIG WOOP Red

Imagine big glasses, big table, big expectation. First taste in the world of BIG WOOP!

Dale went "happy days - hit me one more time!". Then he left. Kym who's never smoked found cigar, back seat leather and sawdust. Chris who dispatches wines for us got serious about tannins and berries. Joe from the kitchen got a licorice allsort outcome. Mr. Ben saw more of a recent Wall Street view - not fat and rich! Park came on with boyhood rhubarb memories and Ben chef started a thread of balsam and chafing of the saw teeth at a wood pile.
BIG WOOP!

Needs a big picture.

Bringing Grenache, Shiraz and Petit Verdot into one big bottle works. Just right if you're off to Boston to further your education. Riding a dog sled, hanging out in Hollywood or gripping the handles of a mountain bike in mild fear. Or you are suburban in your tastes, habits and self-funded superannuation results, where you sit on leather couches, consume cherry ripeys, suck caramels and watch TV while an old cigar smell lingers in a nearby humidor.

Blog it. just slip into layers of smooth, palate pleasing, medium bodied, cedar-tinged fruit of the vine.

See red. Blog on now. One BIG RED litre at a time.
