Callaghan Vineyard Sonoita Padres Red Blend – 2005 – 8.9 – James Meléndez /James the Wine Guy

This is the first Arizona wine I have ever reviewed.  This wine has the following varietal components:  49% Tempranillo, 31% Petit Verdot, 19% Carbernet Sauvignon, and 11% Cabernet Franc.  This red blend gives a nice back structure and giving a nice complexity expressed with it many notes: violet, blackberry-blueberry, ground mace, plum orchard, sage and underbrush.  Makes me curious to want to try other wines from Arizona.
