Marietta Christo 2014
North Coast, North Coast Region, California, United StatesChristo is an excellent example of an American Rhone Ranger. The blend is 60/22/14/4/ syrah, petite sirah, grenache and viognier, aged 18 months in neutral oak. Expect a dense mixture of dark, savoury, ripe black cherries and black raspberry laced with liquorice and spice. The finish is still sporting some grippy tannins that will require another three to five years in bottle to fully dissipate. Best now with lamb or beef.Tasted: 04 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $34.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
