The Scooter
WHO IS THE SCOOTER?
The Scooter was named after Sparky, who raced a big tyre scooter when he was younger.
TASTING NOTES:
Fragrant and silky smooth, the 2022 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 2022 Scooter’s delicate tannins make this Merlot an absolute treat.
