شيرش ميدي باي دوك روج 2023، فرنسا

Poured a glass with pizza last night and the black pepper note really came through alongside the fruit. For under $15 this is a solid weeknight red that doesn't taste thin or harsh.

The blackberry and baking spice combo made it dangerously easy to sip on its own, but it really shined alongside a pepperoni pizza like the description hinted. Juicy without being heavy, and that warm spice lingered nicely on the finish. I've already grabbed a second bottle for next weekend.

The peppery kick from the Syrah really comes through, and this red is perfect alongside a meaty pizza. I was surprised how smooth it is for the price—definitely a new go-to for casual dinners.
