Winemaker Notes
The Big House wines were born of notion that the California climate is quite hospitable to the rollicking, sun loving grapes of Mediterranean France, Italy and Spain. By blending, rather than relying upon a single variety, Big House has created a complex, rich wine that elegantly matches a very wide variety of cuisine, from a large stack of pizzas, to BBQ ribs to roast chicken.
The Big House Pink delivers a tremendous nose of a mixed red fruits, watermelon, cranberry, guava, raspberry and peach. Racy aromas and flavors of spicy cherry and vanilla.

Prohibition shook America’s foundation. It turned men into mobsters, drove ladies to lawlessness and transformed bootleggers into heroes. Big House wines are inspired by these bootleggers who helped bring Prohibition to an end and paid their dues in the Big House. Established in 1990 in Monterey County California, Big House Wine Co. receives its namesake due to the close proximity to the Soledad Correctional Facility, A.K.A. “The Big House.” Their wines are crafted to deliver a fruit-forward style with an unrestrained full-mouth character that is big, bold and unapologetic. Just like their wines, the bootleggers of the roaring ’20s had big personalities, bold character and a rebellious spirit. And now, nearly a century after the start of the Prohibition Era, Big House Wine Co. pays homage to the giants of the era with wines that live up to their legend.
