Barefoot Merlot

Barefoot Merlot is a popular and affordable red wine produced by the Barefoot Cellars Winery, based in Modesto, California. Barefoot Merlot is made from the classic merlot grape, which produces a full-bodied, soft, and fruity wine with notes of plums, blackberries, and spices. It has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 12.5%, making it a lighter-bodied and easy-to-drink red wine. Barefoot Merlot pairs nicely with Italian-American food like pastas and parmigiano-reggiano cheeses, as well as other flavor-rich entrées like roasted pork loin and baked salmon. Its moderate tannins and bold flavors also make it a great choice to pair with aged cheeses, charcuterie, or rich desserts. On its own, Barefoot Merlot is enjoyable as an aperitif. The winery also recommends chilling the wine slightly before serving as it can soften the tannins and let the flavors shine. An affordable and approachable red wine, Barefoot Merlot is a great choice for casual and everyday sipping occasions.
