This particular bottle is apparently the recipient of a '2009 hot brand award'. A Californian offering, it is perfectly inoffensive but hardly ground breaking. One cannot help but suspect that this award was gained mostly on the strength of an eminently quaffable but unmemorable taste- a standard example of a highly popular wine. Slight citrus aromas fail to fully materialise on the palette, and a glass is drunk hardly without noticing if distracted by something entertaining on the TV.
Barefoot went very nicely with my risotto, and the Friday night comedy that followed. I'd recommended it if on offer, but the £6 price tag is, I think, a little steep for such an easily forgotten wine.
Final verdict? Maybe 7/10 on a good day; probably good for company as I imagine no-one would raise objections to a glass or two.
