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
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
Strong bottle can taste the dirt in it. Has another 20 years plus of life but drinking amazing now — 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
Straight up forest floor! It's like having a mouthful of dirt and red/black berries. Light acidity, very sassy for a pinot. — 10 years ago
2007 vintage is a rare find. Full bodied and beautifully paired with red meat. Petite Syrah and Syrah blend. — 10 years ago
Outstanding. Earthy, spicy nose. Chocolate and dirt on the tongue. What I love about CDP. — 10 years ago

Dirt and red currents, with a freshness to finish. A wonderful little bubbly and high value organic wine. — 10 years ago
