The Story
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Mollydooker The Scooter Merlot from McLaren Vale is a bold and expressive wine that bursts with vibrant fruit and spice. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of cherries, forest fruits, and fresh plum, which seamlessly transitions into a palate rich with sweet berries and hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. As the wine opens up, layers of chocolate and subtle oak emerge, adding depth and warmth. There's a soft mouthfeel and well-integrated tannins that allow the wine’s plush texture and ripe fruit character to shine. Accents of black tea, cola, and earthy undertones like sage and bay leaf lend complexity, while a touch of paprika adds a savory twist. With an alcohol content around 15%, it’s a full-bodied Merlot that remains balanced and approachable, perfect for pairing with grilled meats, hearty stews, or even spiced vegetarian dishes.
