Critics Review:
"On first sip, Barefoot Pinot Grigio is light-medium bodied, fruity and very mildly sweet (left of center if you had a dry to sweet scale). It is not noticeably acidic and is very well balanced overall. The taste has a bit of a citrus component that I did not particularly get in the aroma, but that works well. I also got a hint of a taste of Granny Smith apple, which I love and so that was an enjoyable addition. The finish of Barefoot Pinot Grigio is medium and quite nicely mirrors the overall flavors of the wine."

My Personal Review:
I really enjoyed this wine. It was much sweeter than I had expected going into it, but I tend to lean towards sweeter wines thus far. I was definitely able to pick up some apple, as it kind of smelled and tasted like apple juice so I was glad the book mentioned that. I only purchased a split of this wine, but I would definitely buy the full bottle. I did not pair this with any foods.
