Description
Fragrant and silky smooth, the 2019 Scooter charms your senses with a nose full of cherries and forest fruits. Fresh plum and sweet berries delight on your first sip, before giving way to spices reminiscent of nutmeg and cinnamon. Finely poised and balanced, the 2019 Scooter’s delicate tannins make this Merlot an absolute treat.

Mollydooker’s 2019 The Scooter Merlot is one of the few Merlots to be found that’s almost entirely matured in American oak (93%, with the balance being French). The upfront vanilla is obvious (one-third of the barrels are new, with the balance being second and third use), but it’s backed by oodles (a technical term) of black cherries, while hints of plums and mocha also appear. Full-bodied and supple, it’s a decadent, creamy wine for drinking over the near term, finishing with soft tannins and a drizzle of maple syrup.
