Barefoot Cellars 1997 Reserve Chardonnay

Online Exclusive

A very drinkable chardonnay from this well-known producer of bargain priced wines. Clean and not overly manipulated with pleasing pear and spice aromas and flavors. The oak is nicely integrated (a pleasant surprise) and ends with a mildly spicy finish of moderate length. — M.M. (6/1/2003)

Barefoot Cellars 2001 Sauvignon Blanc

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $6

A brisk, tart white wine that scours the palate with lemony flavors and leaves the throat feeling fresh and clean. The vibrancy of its lines, and the sleek, acidic structure are softened by a very slight residual sugar in the finish. — S.H. (1/1/2004)

points

Barefoot Cellars 2004 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Alexander Valley)

Price $13

So good, so refreshing, you can taste the sunshine in every savory sip of this delightful wine. It’s packed with sweet citrus fruits, tangy gooseberry, ripe fig and white pepper flavors, set up against crisp, bright acids. Finishes tart and puckery, preparing the palate for food. — S.H. (11/15/2005)

Barefoot Cellars 2000 Reserve Pinot Noir (Sonoma County)

— W.E. (5/1/2002)

points

Barefoot Cellars 2003 Reserve Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Price $15

You get a lot of Pinot character in this cool-climate wine, with its brisk acids, light, silky texture and pleasant flavors of cherries, raspberries, cola and spices. Those fruity flavors sink down deep and last a long time. — S.H. (11/15/2005)

Barefoot Cellars NV Sauvignon Blanc

Best Buy
Online Exclusive

Price $7

Nice and dry, with citrus flavors backed up with bright acidity that gets your tastebuds whistling. It’s a wine that calls for goat cheese, grilled veggies, sourdough baguettes, fried chicken, cold cuts and fresh fruit. In other words, a picnic. — S.H. (12/22/2011)

points

Barefoot Cellars 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)

Price $17

This nice, fruity wine offers pleasure and complexity in a full-bodied red, with its plum, raspberry, blackberry and tobacco flavors. The youthful tannins are sweet and chewy. Best now through 2006. — S.H. (5/1/2004)

points

Barefoot Cellars NV Extra Dry Sparkling

Best Buy

Price $7

A very nice sparkling wine, and a good value at this price. Makes the right moves with its delicate peach, strawberry, baked bread and vanilla aromas, and rich, fruity flavor. A fierce burst of bubbles makes the wine crisp and bubbly in the mouth. — S.H. (12/1/2003)
