Zinfandel Reserve 2005 - Charles B. Mitchell

Sold Out

This future wine turned out to be the Big Daddy as far as Zinfandel is concerned. Its distinctive garnet color boosts a ripe plum nose, a bit of spice, smoke and the expected pepper finish that tempts even the most refined pallets. Aged in American Oak for sixteen months, this wine was bottled June 8, 2007. Drink in mid-August or cellar up to two years. Best served with your favorite beef, lamb or pork dish, but a sure fire hit with your favorite pasta dishes with tomato based sauces.

Charles Mitchell Vineyards and Winery are located in the heart of the Sierra Foothills, in a premier Amador County wine region called Fair Play, named for the local township born in the Gold Rush era. Over 150 years ago, this region was a thriving wine producing area, supplying the Italian segment of the '49er population. Their property has had a fantastic history since that time, first as a promising repository for gold then, by the turn of the century, as a homestead and orchard, allowing generations of families the opportunity to live off this abundant land.

Their mission is to produce the highest quality wines from the Sierra Foothills and Fair Play appellation. They want to produce wines for the enjoyment of everyday drinking and special occasions. The winery also provides an enjoyable lifestyle and fun atmosphere for all employees and visitors.
