Gerard Bertrand Rouge Clair Pays D’Oc 2023 90+ rated With 85% MerlotThis aromatic, low alcohol red blend was meant to be enjoyed while wearing flip flops and with sand beneath your feet. Candied red cherry, raspberry puree, rosehip and red currant open on the nose. Light in body, it leans into dark red fruit, but maintains a brightness that is the wine equivalent of a linen sundress bathed in afternoon sun. 5: 00 p. m. can't come too soon!
