Light Reds: Barefoot Pinot Noir

I recently made my first Pinot Noir purchase. I am very much into tannins and full-bodied reds, so this was totally not a normal thing. What prompted me to try this Pinot Noir was a very delicious one I recently had the opportunity to try from California. While Barefoot's Pinot Noir isn't as rich as the one I tried (which I cannot remember for the life of me; unfortunate because it was at a private club where I was a guest, and where I don't know when the next time I will have the opportunity to return), it was an acceptable Pinot Noir.

Country/Region/Year

USA, California
Barefoot doesn't put years on their wine. My assumption is that they don't age their wine and sell it right away.

Comparable to

It's hard to compare this to anything at the moment because it was my first Pinot Noir. It's very light and easy to drink. I included Pinot Noir in my post on the easiest wines to drink for that reason. If you like Merlot, this is lighter, but not much lighter.

Price

Barefoot wines are budget wines and usually run from $5.99 on sale up to over $8.00, a huge part of why they are so popular. The point of it all is a great wine at an amazing price point.

This Pinot Noir was ok, but I will delve deeper into Pinot Noirs, perhaps from some other region of California so I can continue to chase that "Pinot Noir high" I got from the brand that remains elusive to me.
