Such an impressive eye opener. Exudes class and elegance. Accelerates through the mid palate and keeps delivering lifted, sweet fruit with unparalleled verve. I almost cried when I watched the last bricky pour leave the bottle. — 6 years ago

2005 - should not have opened this wine as it is too good for casual drinking. Amazing depth and tone. Unparalleled and now very hard to find this vintage. Simply an amazing wine and an amazing year. — 9 years ago

Hard to beat. Rose truth in a bottle. Unparalleled roundness with mouthfeel. Strawberries, garrigue, acidity, and the hint of a green olive. — 6 years ago

Upfront confession. This is my absolute most favorite winery in Napa. The Clarke family are super people (not to mention Spencer and Amizetta are from Texas). This wine is a beautiful deep ruby leaning almost to purple in color. Great hints of dark fruit, baking spices, cedar and leather on the nose. On the palate there are fantastic flavors of blueberries, black plums, dark cherries, cocoa and dark chocolate. The tannins are fully ripe and sweet. A very balanced wine with a long fruity finish. On top of making great wines they have an unparalleled view of Lake Hennessey from their outdoors tasting area. The only thing that would make this wine better is if I was sitting there enjoying it with the Clarke’s. — 6 years ago

Very tight wine, was actually rejected after I gave two guys a taste (the approval) and glasses. I even mentioned decanting because of the youth+power+slow aging vintage but they wanted it now. Out of the bottle it had some ripper tannin and acid, bricks, some florality, rotting strawberry, sorrel, basil, lots of truffle on the back palette plus some funk on the nose and palette. Just overly powerful which makes sense for a Monforte Barolo. Moving forward two days I almost sell this twice as a special but nobody takes due to the price. I take a whiff to check on it and there's no funk, more resolved tannins, levels of unparalleled roses and amareno and maraschino cherry and a slight diminished description to all the notes above to this very vivid wine. I share an ounce with the staff and got a coworker to buy a glass for after work with me to finish the bottle off. Hands down the best Barolo I've had yet🌹 — 8 years ago

Um, wow. It's curranty goodness is pretty much unparalleled at this price. This wine is jammy and rich. If you find this wine, get it and get a lot. I'm going out to buy more. Good with spicy food! — 9 years ago

We discovered discover this Garnacha Blanca blend during our May 2015 visit to Clos Mogador. Rene's son Rene had us jump in his old SUV and drove us through their steep and rocky hillside vineyards. If you've had their reds and wondered why fennel notes are there, it grows all over their property. After a tour of their vineyards we went back to their patio for a tasting...and what a view. Shown in the photos. We started the tasting with the 2010 Nelin. It was the first time we'd had it. At the time, one of the more unique whites we'd had in a long time. It was bright, fresh, subdued fruity, tangy with amazing crisp minerality. Afterwards, we went to lunch at "Amics" near by Clos Mogador. The best & most original 4 course lunches we had for seventy euros with a bottle of this wine. Great service and unparalleled accommodation. It didn't have a star but it should. The nicest couple from Brazil run it. Tonight's revisit is the 2011 and it's had a little better than 5 years in the bottle. It's definitely changed. It's, more golden now, weightier, thicker, more oily and picked up not quite a petrol quality. The fruits are; peach, apricot, pineapple, lemon & lime juice. Notes of honey, wild fragrant florals, amazing chalky minerality, perfect round acidity and a round, lush finish that we absolutely love. The blend is mostly Garnacha Blanca with some Viognier, Roussanne & Pinot Blanc. Photos of the property, views, and the father & son winemaking team of Rene & Rene Barbier. Producer history & notes...Clos Mogador produces estate bottled wines in Gratallops, Catalonia in the DOQ Priorat. Founded in 1979 by René Barbier III and his wife Isabelle Meyer. With several friends, they began replanting terraces and recuperating old ones to eventually have their first release in 1989 as Clos Mogador. This name comes from a novel written by an aunt named, Élisabeth Barbier called, “Les Gens de Mogador”, “The people of Mogador”; which chronicles the rise and fall of a family from near Avignon in France on an imaginary estate called, Mogador. Clos Mogador is 13 hectares. Six hectares are made of 80 years old Cariñena vines, two hectares of 6 years old Cabernet Sauvignon vines, three hectares of 6 years old Garnacha vines and 2 hectares of 6 year old are Syrah vines. They use mostly organic methods. It is worth knowing that at the winemaking stage, Rene Barbier uses an olive press instead of a normal wine press to extract the juice. This results in an even more intense wine from what are already highly concentrated grapes from low yields. Try the Nelin, it's simply delicious!!! Cheers. — 8 years ago

This destroys whatever your favourite limoncello is. This stuff is for real. It's subtly coloured and excellently flavoured. Not syrupy or excessively sweet. The focus is on the fruit, and the memories it evokes are unparalleled. You can only get this in the Cinque Terre, hence why they call it Limoncino, not ello. — 9 years ago
