So glad I don’t know much about wines… couldn’t describe the notes on one if you paid me. But I do know what my tastebuds like and dislike and that is what I buy. When it comes to Shiraz I like Barefoot and Alice White. Both are inexpensive but I use an aerator so perhaps that improves the taste. Enjoyed your review.

Couldn’t agree more… I’ve definitely had $30 bottles I’ve liked less. If I was stuck on a desert island with nothing but Barefoot Shiraz, I’d have no complaints )

I agree with this review. This is one is fine as a good flavorful table wine. Nice fruit and not bitter, not too sweet. I’ve had some $20 – $30 bottles I’ve enjoyed much less, and I can pick this one up at the corner store for around $6. This one is a favorite for gallery and music performance receptions.

I had the bf shiraz with an orange label – no vintage. It was unobjectionable and thus very satisfactory at its price point. A good amount of fruit – plums and cherry and a faint trace of smoke. Little complexity and only a hint of tannin on the tongue. But for US$7 at the Pennsylvania monopoly known as wine & spirits, this is a high value find. Might help postpone my usual run to the delaware border total wine shop.

[...] We also enjoyed some leftover wine from the night before. On our quest to find the best cheap wine, we came across Barefoot Shiraz, which apparently earned a “gold medal” – so why not try it? The wine glass below was actually from Saturday and the stemless wine glass above is from Sunday. It definitely tasted its best when we first opened the bottle, but overall it wasn’t bad. A good, cheap choice! [...]

I prefer the sweet spot of $10-$20, finding many really quite remarkable wines in that range. But Barefoot Cellars, to my thinking anyway, consistently produce perfectly enjoyable table wine at a very attractive price, often $6 around me, $5 by the 1.5 bottles. I can’t think of anyone else that does quite as well at that price point.

Often I find Barefoot priced at $4.99. Their Zinfandel is pretty decent, well balanced and nice flavors. I’d like to try their Shiraz, especially since it is described as not jammy. On the downside, the NV status could mean a much different tasting experience.
