Alkoomi Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

May 21, 2014

Alkoomi Cabernet 2010 (Frankland River, WA)

14.1%, Screwcap, $25

Reductive, tight and firmly restrained Cabernet that appears to show little else besides a little licoricey oak to show for its Cabernet origins. Is this Shiraz or Cabernet? A slightly middling wine for Alkoomi, though not without some grunt.

About me – Andrew Graham

At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
