2022 Marietta Christo Red Blend — Rhône-inspired, Sonoma County red

A Rhône-inspired red from Marietta Cellars, Christo Red Blend weaves California warmth with Northern Rhône restraint. Crafted as a tribute to Chris Bilbro’s father and named after him by his great-aunt Marietta, this expressive red delivers a layered, soulful experience that stands out in Sonoma County’s red blend lineup.

  • Co-fermentation: Syrah and Viognier co-fermented in the traditional Northern Rhône style to enhance aroma, structure, and balance.
  • Vineyard sources: Syrah from the McDowell Valley estate; Petite Sirah from Angeli Estate in Alexander Valley; Grenache from Yorkville Highlands at 1,400 feet elevation.
  • Winemaking: Fermented in stainless steel and aged 20 months in neutral French oak before bottling.
  • Format and vintage: 750ml bottle, 2022 release.
  • Heritage: Named after Chris Bilbro; “Christo” was the affectionate nickname given by his great-aunt Marietta, honoring the founder’s legacy.
94 Points
"The 2022 Christo is bold and explosive in the glass. A rush of blackberry, dried herbs, menthol, licorice, chocolate, lavender and scorched earth opens first. This ample, generous Syrah-based red has so much to offer. Its potent, structured personality will be a fine companion to equally hearty dishes at the dinner table. There's a bit of brawn on the finish, but that works well within this style."
