Alkoomi Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
A pleasing return to form for this label. This finely balanced long-term cabernet is laced with scents of violets and mint over earthy, meaty nuances of small black and red berries, dark plums, chocolate/cedar/vanilla oak and a hint of menthol. ItÕs long and supple with a crunchy, gravelly spine beneath juicy, sweetly fruited and rather meaty, gamey fruit, finishing fine and drying with distinct savoury qualities.

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.
