A very nice end to the night. All mushrooms and dirt. Still singing with acid, with the tannin to back it all up. — 10 years ago

14% booze, about $100, sample. Gorgeous. On the nose it's old world and old dirt, but the palate is all fresh fun fruit. — 11 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. — 11 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. — 13 years ago
