Molly Dooker Scooter Merlot

From Molly Dooker in McLaren Vale, Scooter Merlot is a bold, fruit-forward red with a plush, velvety mouthfeel. Dark plum and blackberry lead, layered with chocolate, vanilla, and subtle spice. Smooth tannins and a long finish make it versatile with grilled meats, hearty pasta, and aged cheeses.
