Initiale Red is a classic Saint-Chinian blend — Syrah imparts spiciness and black pepper; Grenache Noir bestows soft fruit; Carignan expresses a rustic leather tone; and Mourvèdre offers warm hints of tobacco and chocolate. Aromas of blackberry and cherry jam are laced with toasted bread and pepper. A tender, joyful palate carries a trace of tannin, enhancing the finish.
Casual is the watchword for this relaxed red. Serve with cold cuts, barbecue, or a hard, salty cheese platter with almonds.
