Marietta Christo Estate Grown Red Blend 2014

Liz Thach MW

Very unusual blend but surprisingly good. I had it two nights in a row and both times it tasted like velvety dark chocolate, with some complex notes of dried berries and herbs. Made by a small family winery, and it tastes like it was made with love.

Harvest production at Hirsch and Cobb Wineries

A bit overripe and non descript. Raspberry/cherry/plum sauce, wet wool, bitter chocolate. Lowered rating next day, tasted like prune juice.

Scot Walker

Some fruit and hints of tobacco, but a harsh finish. I tried decanting twice on consecutive days, but it did not help. Neither my wife or I found the wine to be worth finishing on either day.

Rebecca Wright

A bit bright, but nice once it opens up

Taylor

Amazing. Complex, though acidic

Catherine Anderson

Just what the doctor ordered

Henry Fuseler

Good blend. Nice and bold. Paired well with the beef ribs 4/18

Jeremy Autry

I wanted to like it more. An exciting blend, but just misses the mark.

Alex Michaud

Very fruity. More dryness/bite than I was expecting but very, very good. Drank most of it with Dan K. Letting it breathe/decant made a big difference.

Pretty rough on the finish: really wanted to like this wine as it is inky dark dense with ripe fruit but didn’t open til second day and ended up being fairly one dimensional fruit focused w/unbalanced acidity & tannins
