Appearance: Pours a light, almost peachy/orangish pink. Almost has a slight effervescence in the glass. No legs.
Aroma: Slightly sweet, peachy, but a little citrus as well.
Mouthfeel: Light at first, but leaves a bit of a syrupy film behind. Also get a little of the effervescence on the palate that I saw in the glass.
Flavors: Sweet. Lots of peach, a hint of strawberry and raspberry. Tastes kind of like a peach flavored hard candy.
Overall: For being a "new" wine from barefoot, this is pretty much the stereotypical California pink wine. Which I guess could be good or bad. It is sweet and slightly syrupy, low alcohol (just under 10%), and light bodied. Very drinkable. The kind of wine that gave "white zin" and "blush" wines a bad name in the U.S. wine market, but also got a lot of working and middle class people drinking wine. For $8 a bottle, it's not terrible if you're looking for dessert or something incredibly drinkable on a warm summer day, but don't expect anything too complex or elegant from this one.
