Alkoomi 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Frankland River)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
The black plum fruit is sturdy but soft; still, make no mistake: This wine’s focus is its chewy tannins. There’s no killer oak or caramel flavors-just fat plum and moist soil, and maybe a little wheat. A very nice wine, and well tempered.

Alkoomi 2002 Sauvignon Blanc (Frankland River)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
An excellent Sauvignon Blanc, with invigorating grass, gooseberry and lemon-lime flavors, and a mouthfeel that manages to be both zesty and viscous. Opens with permeating, fragrant melon, green apple and fresh herbal flavors.

Alkoomi 2007 Riesling (Frankland River)
- $19
Seductively aromatic yet firm in structure, with layers of lemon, lime, chalk and spring flowers. Traces of lemon zest and sour candy linger on the long, bone-dry finish. Try with grilled scallops or fried clams.

Alkoomi 1999 Shiraz (Frankland River)
- $20
Shows rich, meaty aromas of black peppercorn-crusted steak, soy and Asian spices that segue smoothly into flavors of black cherries and plums accented by pepper and roasted meat. Finishes long, with persistent pepper notes and some firm tannins. Drink now through 2008.

Alkoomi 2004 Shiraz-Viognier (Frankland River)
- $23
Alkoomi’s Shiraz-Viognier features mildly herbal, peppery qualities to go with fresh, red-berried fruit and a touch of coffee. It’s very supple in texture, but does have enough acidity to maintain its shape, making it easy to drink young.

Alkoomi 2002 Riesling (Frankland River)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Though it is in the unscrewcapped minority, this is a well-built Riesling, and one that somehow seems engineered to please a wide-reaching audience. It offers white peach and other subtle fruit flavors dusted with sweet talc, make no mistake—its dry, minerally mouthfeel is the key player here. Has a little spritz in the mouth, with white pepper and a burst of peach…

Alkoomi 2001 Shiraz (Frankland River)
- $22
Shows rustic flavors like hay and earth over its red plum fruit. In spite of its earthiness, this feels like a wiry, bright wine, probably thanks to its undercurrent of eucalyptus. On the nose, you’ll find grape, plum, chalk and earth flavors. Another very good wine from this always dependable Oz winery.
