Catching Up With Kent Callaghan of Callaghan Vineyards in Elgin, Arizona
With over twenty years under his belt, Kent Callaghan is arguably the elder of the group, producing his first wine in 1990. I always enjoy speaking with Kent, his approach to winemaking straight forward and honest, and integrating lessons learned from the past. After a challenging 2012, punctuated by a freeze and hail that severely reduced yields for so many vintners in Elgin, Kent thinks the 2013 growing season may be one of finest vintages of his career, resulting in record yields.
In this first video, I asked Kent the explain the differences in soils between the three Arizona wine growing regions: Sonoita/Elgin, Wilcox and Verde Valley and how this translates into wine styles. His answer gets to the heart of structure and texture.
Finally, we tasted Tannat, a wine made from the namesake grape, and true to its name, containing perhaps the highest tannin levels of any red. Listen to our discussion about the wine........It will surprise you. This is a wine that you should have on your list to buy. By the way, Kent is sharing his Tannat at a wine dinner schedule for November 2nd at the Sonoita restaurant Overland Trout.
