Scooter Merlot

TASTING NOTES:

Brilliant Ruby in colour with a bright cherry and violet nose, the 2020 Scooter is tantalising from the outset. The first sip fills the palate with intense red fruit like raspberries and fresh plum. As these vibrant flavours continue to develop on the palate, soft tannins complement notes of mocha cream and dried herbs making this an absolute treat.
