Wine Advocate: 95 Points
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.
James Suckling: 94 Points
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.
Vinous: 93 Points
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.
