Alkoomi Black Label Shiraz Viognier 2003
A pleasing expression of this now-popular blend with the potential to develop with softness and charm. Its meaty, floral and earthy fragrance of dark plums, cassis and dark chocolate overlies vanilla oak and an underlying exotic muskiness. Long and smooth, but overlying a firm spine of drying tannins, it’s saturated with bright flavours of dark plums, cassis and blackberries, with lingering savoury suggestions of dark olives and minerals.

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.
