Before we begin this post, we'd like to note that this is a positive review...but we know what we like, and after four years of learning about wines and trying different varietals and vintages, we know what to expect. So, when we opened today's bottle of Barefoot Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, we were a bit shocked. Not bad shocked, but...let's say after trying very good Cabs and other reds (a recent Meritage comes to mind, as well as a tasty Zinfandel from Kendall Jackson which we drank earlier this week) this one tasted...weak??? Not bad weak, just different. "Light" would be the better word to describe this Cab. Simple, tasty--definitely tasty--but not a true, rich, full-bodied Cab. It is pleasant, and at $5 at our local Trader Joe's, you can't beat the price! However, if you're looking for the typical Cab, you won't fine it here. We enjoyed it, however, and thought it had a cute label.
Hope everyone is having a lovely Memorial Day weekend. We attended two parties: a retirement and a graduation. Kath was excited that she didn't have to cook two nights in a row! Today, we cooked out: steak for us and hot dogs for the kids. Good stuff.
Happy Memorial Day!
