Lothario
Lothario is a Mourvedre dominant blend with Grenache.
Dark and brooding in the glass, the 2019 Lothario slowly opens with an array of dried rosemary and sage offset by crushed ashen stone and a core of dried black cherries. This flows like liquid, velvety, rich and supple, with a fleshy wave of ripe red and black fruits perfectly balanced by brisk acidity. Nearly seamless and quite polished in feel, the 2019 embraces the palate with a web of fine tannins and wild blueberry nuances. Citrus hints punctuate the experience quite nicely. The Lothario is a blend of 59% Mourvèdre and 41% Grenache. 94 pts

“seducer, amorously attentive to women”
Okay, I took a few liberties here! It’s really a womanizer, a Don Juan, but I thought I’d give it a positive connotation. Most guys think they are lotharios.
It’s really named after a good friend and mentor (not a Lothario), named Lothar. Lothar strongly encouraged me to pursue this dream, and even bridged me to get the project going. I thought the least I could do was name a wine after him!
