2017 / drank it as a tribute to the iconic Lorenzo Accomasso who passed away 3 weeks ago at the age of 91, after have worked on 70 vintages! Amazing. Although 2017 was not a classic vintage and you have to like a classic farmer winegrower style, but if you do this is a very very enjoyable wine, still a baby — 10 months ago

Drank with a farmer in Kenya, his eyes lit up. We are talking smallholder value. Perfect bottle for the moment. — a year ago

Simply delicious Burg! Light colored. Intriguing and attractive nose of forest floor red berries and an interesting mysterious note of woodsy perfume of some kind carrying through to a liveliness and dancing texture. More pure pleasure than the complexity and depth folks chase after. Excellent finish to cap it off. Hard to find. Hopefully another bottle left. Yum. What a GL 29 buy back then! A traditionally made wine, 50 barrels with no sulfur. Gardener than farmer as DR says! — 5 years ago

Invited this Somm 3 movie star to dinner and it definitely didn’t disappoint. It is Burgundy in California, and like Tom Hardy in Hollywood, it has plenty of talent. Cherries and raspberries with violet and a subtle earth, finely balanced in the mouth. Trying not to finish it before the coq au vin is done, ask @Lyn Farmer for a solid coq au vin story. — 8 years ago

Excellent wine, the style is minimalist but very focussed. The sensation is that of a natural but elegant wine, some sort of a gentleman farmer style, I love it. The nose starts with some leathery hints and with some air it gets quite fruit forward with an accent on black currant and small red fruits. The mouth shows very youthful with firm tannins and a vibrant acidity. I'll buy again. — 6 years ago

A riper and brighter vintage than one tasted a few years ago. I don’t really understand the low ratings. Quite honestly, if this was natural wine from a crusty old Slovenian farmer in a mountain town nobody has ever heard of, or a 9th generation hipster Andorran-French winemaker using only a walnut press to make the wine, the wine writers/bloggers would be all over it. This is real, natural wine. Certainly not perfect, and definitely unique. Floral and grapey with decent tannins and acidity. Medium finish. Tiny production of 1500 bottles. 32 bucks. Totally worth it, IMHO. — 8 years ago

Oh my gosh I absolutely love this. I'm not usually a huge fan of Texas wines, but this one hit it out of the park. What an incredible mix of Farmhouse-y funk and berries. — 8 years ago
