Blind tasting no3. I legitimately said French Grenache after a lot of deliberation, but it was still a complete guess at the end of it all. Spanish garnacha! I should have known. Ugh.

A cloudy and full medium ruby middle with garnet rim and quite a bit of color variation. Tons of jammy raspberry and tart cherry aromas. Red fruit for sure. Also picked up on cocoa and baking spices, heavy black pepper too. Low tannins, but HIGH acids, with red fruit and chocolate + potting soil. Very good. — 6 months ago

When your family unites and you want to enjoy the feeling, you will enjoy this wine to the very last sip. Dark, aromatic and well-balanced wine. — 3 years ago

Camping on Figuera Mountain close to Los Olivos drinking Great Pinot. Bought and retried the wine. 13% plenty of raspberry some cherry and spice. I met Ernst Storm this weekend- definitely a name to watch - his Pinot’s are the most Burg like ones in Santa Barbara right now. Tyler is just as good but more dollars. This one is quite fruit driven but still excellent. — 4 years ago

Time to explore this Clos Mogador ‘Com Tu’ Garnatxa Negra de la Figuera (2019).

It’s made with 100% Garnatxa Negra (Grenache Noir) grapes coming from the small village of la Figuera in Montsant DO in the broader region of Catalunya, NE Spain.

Montsant DO neighbors and surrounds Prioriat DOQ with similar macro environmental influences (warm, dry, sunny), making it a great place to produce ripe and powerful wines.

Com Tu started as a side project and has since become part of the iconic Clos Mogador portfolio.

This is a quintessential, and elevated, summer barbeque wine! It’s medium ruby with aromas and flavors of ripe, juicy red and black cherry, red plum, boysenberry, stewed strawberry rhubarb, blood orange, dried prune, violet, black licorice, crushed stone, and leather.

It is dry, with medium acidity, a full body, high alcohol (14.5% ABV), medium tannins that are ripe and a medium(+) finish. It’s lovely and could pair well with a variety of grilled or smoked meats and vegetables.

Cheers to Clos Mogador and delicious Garnatxas from around the globe! — 7 months ago

We like to go Camping on Figuera Mountain. Which allow us to combine wilderness with wine tasting either before or after. In Los Alamos CA is a funky tasting room. LoFi wines. These guys play vinyls and are essentially crazy. But here is the thing they make odd wines but sometimes they kill it. This is one of them. Rich and quite yellow clocks in at just 12.5%. From Crosby Wine Co. Fantastic fruit, apricots mostly. Jasmine really! Hint orange blossoms. Given the richness this could go for 2-5 more years. A benchmark for what Chard can do in the Sta. Rita Hills. A unicorn can’t even find anything or even the winery in Buellton CA. on the web. Might be gone. Ce la vie. — a year ago
