Wine Description

With the small crop and small berries, concentration wasn’t an issue though picking decisions were difficult as the acid was slow to decrease yet displayed a huge shift in tank. We decided to pick early and are thrilled with the brightness and depth without over-ripe flavors. A huge expression of tar, cocoa powder, violets and structure, this Syrah-based wine is brightened by vibrant Grenache, lengthened by Petite Sirah, and lifted aromatically via co-fermentation with Viognier. Named and styled after Marietta’s founder, Chris Bilbro, this wine is gentle but powerful, pleasurable but deep, and refined while raw

  1. WE –

    This big, nicely dry and firm-textured wine supports deep blackberry, black-pepper and woodsmoke flavors with firm tannins and a full body. It’s great to pair with a juicy chop or steak.

  2. WA –

    The 2018 Christo is made up of 60% Syrah, 24% Grenache, 12% Petite Sirah and 4% Viognier. Vibrant ruby-purple in color, the nose offers pure scents of crushed red, black and blue berries, tobacco, violets, tar and smoked meats. The palate is full-bodied and packed full of perfectly ripe, juicy fruit, with a grainy frame and loads of uplift on the finish.

  3. JS –

    Very attractive aromas of blackberry, sweet tobacco and wet earth follow through to a full body with a round, soft texture. Smoke, tar and graphite notes. Flavorful finish. 60% syrah, 24% grenache, 12% petite sirah and 4% viognier.

  4. VIN –

    The 2018 Christo is the most intriguing of the wines in Marietta’s mid-tier range. Succulent red cherry, spice, tobacco and cedar lend quite a bit of immediacy. Soft and pliant, with striking textural richness, Christo is an absolutely joyous wine in every way. Don’t miss it.
