Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Grapefruit and mint make for an interesting and attractive couple on the nose, while tart citrus and a bit of grass make up the flavor profile. It hails from Western Australia, and overall it gets the job done. On the down side, however, is a slight vinegar note.

Alkoomi Sauvignon Blanc - 2001

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Seems to be built for aging, with its incipient petrol character waiting to emerge even more in time, and a sharp, citrusy tang to its flavors. Long and tart; try after 2010.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

Alkoomi White Blend - 2001

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

On the light side, with herbal, tea-like notes accenting tart cherry fruit.

Alkoomi Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc - 2007

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This unusual blend of Sémillon, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc is good but isn’t for everyone—the bouquet is a garden-fresh blend of gooseberries, green bananas and leafy lettuce; the palate shows clean, zingy green pea and cilantro flavors. It’s lightweight, with a slightly tart, fresh-cut wood and citrus finish. Would go well with shrimp or white fish.

Alkoomi White Blend - 2000

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Aromas of cranberry and green olive don’t reveal a dominant varietal in this three-grape blend. Very light and simple, but soft and tartly sour with hints of cherry and blackberry that accompany the green olive tinges.
