Having recently enjoyed a bottle of Barefoot Chardonnay, I decided to see if this winemaker was a one-hit wonder by sampling their Merlot. In a word, WOW. At $6 a bottle, one hopes for something drinkable and pleasant. When you stumble upon something as fantastic as this Merlot at this price, well, now I know how those people on Antiques Roadshow must feel. Barefoot Merlot was a smooth, rich wine, medium bodied with a silky mouthfeel. You’ll detect subtle notes of chocolate and boyseberry. It’s just a fantastic red at an even more fantastic price! At this price, drink this wine everyday and be happy.
