Review:  The original smell of the Barefoot Sweet Red blend wine was very sweet, that of a cranberry flavor.  It wasn't a sharp sweetness, but more subtle, which I enjoyed.  The taste was that of cherry and berry flavors, one that was pretty sweet, a little overly sweet for my tastes.  Overall, I know that this wine is a fairly cheap wine, however, it isn't a horrible choice.  I wouldn't personally drink this, just because I am not a huge fan of overly sweet wines, however, it is not a bad choice for those looking for a decent bottle at a bargain price.
