Very nice flavor to introduce me to the style. Considering I can sometimes get it for $4.75 a bottle, it is an amazing deal.

Red Zinfandel is not supposed to be cloyingly sweet and this stuff was disgusting. Almost as bad as their Moscato, but at least that is supposed to be sweet. I won't be trying any of the other Barefoot wines. I just tried the Barefoot Zinfandel last night and the only factor that made me drink it was my incorrigible cheapness.

Have you tried it since? The Zin is my favorite of the Barefoot wines with the newer Pinot Noir coming in a close second. I'm going to remember this the next time I have some. I wonder if it will affect my experience. I never thought of it as sweet. Very interesting to get other's opinions. Cheers! *** Hi Rachele, Thanks for your feedback! No, I have not tried the Barefoot Zin since then. I could have just had an off bottle, who knows! Maybe I'll give it another shot. Also, just to clarify, it was not "sweet" like a moscato or some reislings or many other wines are "sweet." Rather, it had a more unpleasant sweetness to it, akin to acetic acid. AWS Really?

Hi Rachele,

Not bad especially for the price though not nearly as full bodied as some slightly more expensive Zin's in the $10 range. A very good deal imho.
