This is a good wine for the money. Not the best wine but a good cheap one.

Bought this to put it in my wild boar stew and that is exactly what you should do with it. Tastes like industrial blueberry lemonade. You wouldn't want to serve this to your friends.

Very drinkable Cab. Nothing special or outstanding just a well rounded mediocre Cab.

Ah, the Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon. Iconic. So iconic, in fact, that Delectable struggled to identify it. Surely not an everyday wine, but reserved for the most special occasions.
Upon opening I am smitten. The vintage is not listed on the label, sadly, but I can tell this has been impeccably cellared.
I am met with fruity and floral notes on the nose. It seems young!
Flavors of dark berries, vanilla, and spice. There is an oak influence here- is it French? Is it American?
The tannins are all but resolved, and the finish is smooth and fine. I'd put this up against anything from Napa, and it would be up there against it. Sitting right there on the counter up against it.
It's hard to find the right words, but suffice to say this wine is unforgettable. It's breathtaking. It's as good, if not better than, the Barefoot Oreo flavored wine.
Drink up! I estimate the 2026 is at its peak.
Listening to Ravel (of course)
