Yasss queen. It tastes like earthy dirt in a glass — 9 years ago
Love the comments on this wine about "dirt and cherries," @Jaime Godinez or "half Beaujolais and half Syrah," @Scott Barber, really true, Schioppettino is an interesting contrast of grapey fruit vs peppery foresty mineral characters. This is a great rendition of this rare varietal. — 10 years ago

Third bottle hit pay dirt! One hour of air and wine evolved for the next hour. Very big, strong cigar smoke and earth with pepper and dark fruit. Long finish gaining in complexity. Very big wine, selosse equivalent! — 10 years ago
Very nice Brunello even though it's from an unheralded vintage. Tasted like the dirt of Italy with some tobacco and cherry mixed in — 9 years ago
A very nice end to the night. All mushrooms and dirt. Still singing with acid, with the tannin to back it all up. — 9 years ago

Strong bottle can taste the dirt in it. Has another 20 years plus of life but drinking amazing now — 10 years ago
I had the distinct pleasure of tasting this wine Monday in Seattle. The mag was open for 2 hours and still hAd that tannic bite. Along with the over-the-top complex notes of dirt, tobacco, dark cherries, etc. I will surely remember this pour. $383 / 98pts. — 12 years ago

This took a while to grow on me but when it did it popped. Well made, nice balance. Very Oregon-y. Light is the word of the day. Purty light purple in the glass with a really nice nose of pepper and red cherries. Ripe red fruits on the palate and then the dirt starts to kick in. Dirt, spice, and strawberries. The earthiness really makes this bottle. A light, spicy finish. — 9 years ago
