Great zin but I can’t figure out what else is in the blend. Dark color and dark red berries and cherries in a mid-bodied, smooth blend. This is lot 74 — 3 months ago
The 2021 Christo is a brooding wine. Black cherry, plum, gravel, tobacco, menthol, licorice and dried herbs add to an impression of gravitas. Brawny tannins wrap it all together. This full-bodied red is very much intended for the dinner table. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2024)

Parker gave it a 94- was expecting it to drink like a 92-93- it drank like a 91-92.

Typical OVR. Excellent every time. Vintage is speculation. — 3 months ago
Massive, chewy, and muscular. Opaque in the glass with black fruits that grip like a snapping turtle. Black cherry, mulberry, blueberry. Blackberry pie with a crust left in the oven for a minute too long. This is not at all my style of wine but it gets a 9 cause it has a lot going on for sub $30 on the shelf. 14.7% abv.

Upon opening some fruit in the nose as well as some pepper. Moderate tanning on tasting as it opened up the fruit went away and it’s a little more peppery enjoyable.  — 3 months ago
Little sweeter than a traditional zin. Nice wine. — 4 months ago
Oh this is a good one! Beautiful vanilla nose! Dark rich color. Balanced throughout. Short mineral finish with a little cranberry. Low to medium tannins. Would buy again — 4 months ago
