The purple-colored 2007 The
Scooter Merlot was aged in 20% new oak for 11 months. It
exhibits an alluring nose of cedar, spice box, violets, cassis,
and black currants. Layered and ripe on the palate, it has
enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. This lengthy effort
over-delivers for its modest price. It might even help restore
Merlot’s tattered reputation.
