What is it about rainy days that makes you crave a nice big glass of wine? We aren't sure either, but that's exactly how we spent our rainy Friday night. We've had our eyes on the newest red wine blend by Barefoot and it seemed like the perfect evening to indulge. Go ahead and judge. We are just simple country girls who drink $6 bottles of wine. And, Barefoot happens to be one of our favorite "affordable" wines. I'm pretty balanced on my preferences for wine. I like both red and white pretty equally. Carrie, on the other hand prefers white. Which could be why we held pretty opposite opinions on this vino.
The Wine:
For starters, this is a semi-astringent wine. It wasn't super dry but it was getting there. Slightly more astringent than Barefoot's Sweet Red blend, which we both like pretty well. The bottle claims, it's "a velvety red wine blend with bold aromas and flavors of blackberries, blueberries, and vanilla. Hints of caramel and oak complement the smooth finish." The strongest flavor for me was the blackberry. Honestly, it isn't something either of us is going to purchase again. But, it's always nice to branch out.
Just like anything else, it's all about preference. If you like more astringent reds, this could totally be your new favorite.
Shine On!!
