A love letter to the Rhône Valley written in California ink — and one of Sonoma County's most thrillingly expressive and soulful red blends. Named and styled after Chris Bilbro, affectionately called "Christo" by his great-aunt Marietta and founder of the winery, this is winemaker Scot Bilbro's tribute to his father's legacy — and it is a magnificent one. A blend of 67% Syrah, 22% Grenache, 8% Petite Sirah, and 3% Viognier — with the Syrah and Viognier co-fermented in the traditional Northern Rhône tradition — sourced from three distinct estate vineyards: the McDowell Valley estate for Syrah, the Angeli Estate in Alexander Valley for Petite Sirah, and the Yorkville Highlands estate at 1,400 feet elevation for Grenache. Fermented in stainless steel and aged 20 months in neutral French oak before bottling.

"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."
