JENNIFER'S SUGGESTIONS
Barefoot Zinfandel is perfect with beef, red sauce pastas, hearty soups, and sharp cheeses.
JENNIFER’S WINEMAKER NOTES: Medium to full body, balanced tannins.
Dark berries, plum jam and notes of prunes. White pepper & varietal spices complement the chocolate Mocha flavors and lingering jammy finish.
AWARDS AND ACCOLADES: "The NV Zinfandel, California, opens light, soft with black raspberry jam dominated before mouthfilling flavors of black raspberry, black cherry, and oak plus light, dry tannin. Everything carries through the somewhat narrow, truncated finish. Well put together. Tasty." Colorado Wine News

"BEST BUY Brillian ruby red hue. Raspberry, sage and earth aromas. Medium-bodied with a light burst of fruit, this is a well-made wine that captures the flavors of Zin as well as its spice and tannins." Tastings.com/BTI

8.5 out of 10 "We found the Barefoot Zinfandel offered an interesting aroma of spice tinged with vanilla and tobacco. The flavor is juicy, with powerful raspberry adn cherry notes. In no way is this an overly sweet zin - its acidity balances the fruit and leads to a flavor that isn't particularly complex but is pleasing enough. In short, there may be better twenty dollar Zins, but for a wine selling for closer to five dollars than ten, Barefoot Zinfandel is a great buy." Boxwines.org
