Charles B. Mitchell Vineyards
Charles B. Mitchell Vineyards operates in California's Sierra Foothills, a region defined by elevation, diurnal temperature swings, and old-vine heritage. The winery focuses on two varieties native to the region's character: Zinfandel and Malbec. The Delfino Reserve Malbec—a wine of structure and depth—earned a 92-point rating from Wine Enthusiast. Two Zinfandels anchor the portfolio: the D'Agostini Reserve and Hawk Creek, both rated 91 points by Wine Enthusiast. Zinfandel thrives in the Sierra Foothills' warm days and cool nights, developing the ripe fruit and spice the variety is known for. Malbec, traditionally associated with Argentina, finds expression here in California's high-elevation terrain. The winery's selection reflects a commitment to the grapes and geography that define the region.
