TN: 2015 Louis Bernard [Cotes du Rhone Villages]

2015 Louis Bernard [Cotes du Rhone Villages] Not sure if they make a blanc, but this is the their gulpable, and inexpensive, 13.5% abv red. $9 at Costco, and an open bottle in the fridge lasts maybe a day and a half around here. Medium bodied, not memorable, but good straightforward, tasty young CdR. It’s a screwtop closure, as a plus. One has to pay $10+ more to get into the really interesting CdR level wines, like Charvin or Coudelet, but this is good for what it is. 2015 is a solid vintage for this category, in my anecdotal efforts so far. I would not let this wine stretch its legs much, just drink this commercial offering up young. Easy B+, maybe better.
