Producer Information: Barefoot Cellars
Barefoot Cellars began in 1986 in California’s Sonoma County, founded by winemaker Davis Bynum with a vision to create approachable wines that celebrate the region’s sun-drenched vineyards. The brand quickly became known for its playful footprint label and commitment to making wine accessible for all, focusing on fruit-forward styles that highlight California’s diverse terroir. Barefoot emphasizes sustainable practices and community involvement, often supporting local causes through their “Barefoot Wine Beach Rescue Project.” Beyond their popular Moscato, they offer a wide range of varietals including Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, and Merlot as well as sparkling wines like Barefoot Bubbly. Their portfolio also extends into canned spritzers and hard seltzers crafted with the same easy-drinking philosophy that has made them a staple in American households.

Blended Red Wine is a harmonious combination of various grape varieties, crafted to create a complex and balanced flavor profile. Typically featuring grapes such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Grenache, these wines showcase an array of taste sensations that include dark fruits like blackberry and plum alongside red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. The addition of spices like pepper and clove, along with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, further enriches the experience.
This wine style is characterized by its medium to full-bodied texture with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and leather contribute to its inviting bouquet. Blended Red Wines are often aged in oak barrels for added complexity and undergo malolactic fermentation for a softer mouthfeel. Ideal for casual gatherings or dinner parties, they pair beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes like Bolognese, barbecue fare, and aged cheeses.
