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

Straight up forest floor! It's like having a mouthful of dirt and red/black berries. Light acidity, very sassy for a pinot. — 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
