Alkoomi Black Label Shiraz Viognier 2006
Floral aromas of raspberries, red cherries, cassis and dried herbs reveal earthy, dusty undertones and a hint of whole bunch ferment jamminess. ItÕs medium in weight, and while it has spicy, savoury Rhne-ish pretensions, its pretty expression of raspberry and cherry flavour does thin out down the palate, becoming a little dilute by the green-edged finish. Just a little too green.

Winery
Alkoomi
Alkoomi was one of the founding vineyards of the Great Southern region. Located in the northern Frankland River sub region, its recent vintages are returning to the style and structure upon which they developed their reputation. Leading the current releases are the Melaleuca Riesling from 2016 (95/100, drink 2028-2036), a wine of classical perfume, purity and longevity, plus the elegant and restrained Blackbutt blend of red Bordeaux varieties from 2010.
