Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Deep crimson red with a glossy, inviting sheen.

NOSE:
The nose is bursting with ripe red fruits, including plums, cherries, and red currants. These are complemented by fragrant notes of vanilla, chocolate, and a hint of spice. There are also subtle earthy undertones and a touch of mint, adding complexity.

TASTE:
On the palate, The Scooter Merlot is full-bodied and velvety, with a plush texture and soft tannins. Flavors of juicy plums, blackberries, and dark cherries are front and center, supported by layers of dark chocolate, espresso, and sweet oak.

FINISH:
The wine’s balanced acidity provides freshness, leading to a long, smooth finish with lingering notes of fruit and spice.

Food Pairing

The rich and approachable nature of The Scooter Merlot makes it a versatile wine for pairing with a variety of dishes:

Red Meats:
Ideal with grilled or roasted meats, such as lamb chops, beef tenderloin, and pork loin. The wine’s fruitiness and tannin structure enhance the savory flavors of the meat.

Poultry:
Pairs well with poultry dishes, including roast chicken, duck breast, and turkey, especially when accompanied by berry or fruit-based sauces.

Pasta:
Complements hearty pasta dishes, such as spaghetti Bolognese, lasagna, and pasta with rich tomato or mushroom sauces.
