From the winery:
(2013 Description)
A Merlot with brilliant red colour and a fragrant cherry and plum nose, mouth filling berry fruit on the palette with mocha and spice lingering along the tongue. The 2013 Scooter has racy acid that really brightens the fruit, a vibrant and perfumed wine with great plummy intensity. The tannins are soft and supple while the subtle oak compliments the abundant fruit. Balanced yet expressive the Scooter is joyous and enjoyable. ~Matt~Having worked in the warmer grape regions, the general descriptors used for merlot are often tomato and tobacco leaf. So you can imagine my surprise and joy when I first tasted the 2013 Scooter. Rich red cherries, luscious blackberry, cinnamon spice and vanilla layered with hints of coffee and licorice allsorts. The Scooter is a generous wine that shows the full spectrum of flavor that comes from McLaren Vale Merlot. ~Anna~
