Wine critic review: To
start, the cork was soft and came out easily. The wine presented a mostly
clear and clean appearance with mild color typical of a
Moscato. Though not a sparkling wine, it was a little bit
bubbly in the glass. A clean crisp aroma of light pear was immediately noticed
and was pleasant. On the palate, the Barefoot Moscato was sweet and
crisp. The sweetness did not overpower the enjoyable tastes of lemon and
orange citrus, as promised from the bottle.The mouthfeel had a texture of
satiny smoothness with a finish that landed mostly in the cheeks and somewhat
less on the tongue. The finish was short and delicate. Overall, this
Moscato performed perfectly and would easily pair with the foods mentioned
above. On their website they also mention that this wine would be a good compliment
to coconut cream pie. Nowadays, many restaurants serve a cheese plate as
a dessert. Barefoot Moscato came to mind as the perfect compliment
to that - Jon Rogers, Honest Wine
Review, 01/17/2013
My review: I was really
excited to try this wine. As a cashier at a local grocery store, I see all
sorts of Barefoot wines come through and I have always wanted to take a moment
and give them a shot. I am also still trying to ease into the wine world, and I
figured this would be a safe white wine to try. The wine was very crisp and
refreshing. It was sweeter than I expected (which I liked) and tasted very
citrusy and peachy. Also, I ended up leaving the glass on my coffee table for a
while (roughly 2-3 hours). By this time, the glass had gotten warm. I ended up
taking another sip from the glass and absolutely loved it. I felt like I could
taste the peaches much better. I would absolutely drink this wine again - and I'm a fan of the smaller bottles for more casual quick drinking.
I tasted this on its own
with no food.
