Dubost 2010 Caleri Vineyard Negrette (San Benito County)

Country: US / Caleri Vineyard
Variety: Negrette California
Winery: Dubost / San Benito County

This grape is historically from southwest France but performs intriguingly in this bottling, with aromas of black cherry and sweet sage. The palate presents black olive, cooked cherries and plums, charred meats and decent tannins. There is not a ton of acidity, but it feels balanced nonetheless.
