SPLASHDOWN WINES

Winemaker, Charles B. Mitchell was inspired to create this new series of water themed labels for his line of wines reflecting the spirits of California and Hawaii. "Splash Down" represents fun, beauty, and adventure The labels picture some of Charles' favorite water craft, from stand up paddle boards to his navy war plane (a T28 Trojan for the aficionados). He hopes to convey to you through this wine series, the energy and inspiration of these Pacific Gems.

2008 Sangiovese — El Dorado

After returning from a tour of Tuscany's top Sangiovese producers, Charles B. Mitchell was inspired by Italy's Chiantis, Super Tuscans, and Brunellos. He recreates the lovely Brunello characteristics by careful handling on the crush pad and in the cellar with gentle pressing, and punch downs. With careful attention he achieves a deep colored wine with powerful fruit and earthiness. Savor this lovely Sangiovese that at once shows the lightness of an aperitif and amazing depth of flavor.
