Marietta Christo Estate Grown Red Blend Rated 96WA
| Vintage: | 2019 |

| Description: | Wine Advocate Review. Rated 96. A blend of Syrah, Grenache, Petite Sirah and Viognier, the 2019 Christo has a deep ruby-purple color and alluring scents of blueberry jam and cassis with accents of loamy earth, violet, coffee beans and iron. The full-bodied palate is powerful yet silky, with seamless acidity and gobs of pure violet perfume on the long, layered finish. It's easy to drink now but offers a decade or more of cellaring potential. Drink 2023-2038. Wine Tasting Notes. Marietta Christo Estate Grown Red Blend exhibits a captivating bouquet of violet, ripe plum, and sage, which intertwine to produce an alluring aroma. Subtle notes of charcuterie and iron-like minerality contribute an intriguing touch of untamed essence. Upon tasting, one can savor the essence of dried strawberries, dark chocolate, and black tea, as they generously envelop the palate, leaving behind a delightful chewiness that hints at its aging potential. This wine, named and crafted in honor of Marietta's founder, Chris Bilbro, presents a paradox of contrasting qualities: it is extracted and intensely flavorful, yet remarkably gentle and inviting. 65% Syrah, 22% Grenache, 10% Petite Sirah, 3% Viognier.
