Wine Tasting - Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc

       

Name: Barefoot Sauvignon Blanc. 

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc. 

Region: California. 

Country: United States. 

Year: 2023. 

Price: $6.99. 

Winery Review: Grant Tevault says: "Green apple and a hint of pear from start to finish. A little bit sweet with plenty of acid to squeeze your salivary glands." Stepehen Co adds: "My first Californian sauvignon blanc. A value one at that. Lighter than typical sauvignon blanc. Very drinkable cocktail wine. Drank at Chevening send off British Embassy Manila."

Wine Folly: (Page 578) Sauvignon Blanc - "A less-planted grape from the North Coast making high-quality wines with rich fruity flavors of white peach, orange blossom, and pink grapefruit - very unlike other Sauvignon. [For other blanc regions,] look to Sonoma and Mendocino, where cooler temperatures maintain acidity."  

My Review: Barefoot was a brand I haven't tried just yet and I thought I'd give it a go. For some odd reason it reminded me of Stella Rosa, so for the next wine I go for I'll be sure to choose a Stella Rosa zinfandel as well as a Barefoot moscato (if they are produced by both brands, of course). I would like to compare the two, but I digress. I am definitely picking up some sort of floral orange as well as heavy citrus takes of grapefruit and lemon, maybe even some peach and green/yellow apple. I'd dare to say a hint of melon is here as well as some Earthy flavors how cork smells. Last but not least, ever so slight hints of asparagus and black olives for sure. At 13% alcohol with a thin, yet strong, mouthfeel, it is definitely worth the price.
