SKU: ALKBLACAB12
Alkoomi Blackbutt Cabernet Malbec Cab Franc Merlot 2012 features lifted aromas of cassis and dried herbs. Complex flavours of cassis layered with earthy forest floor notes with a vibrant line of acidity that carries the dusty, fine grained tannin structure to an even, balanced finish.

”A Bordeaux-inspired blend of cabernet (66.7%), merlot (22.2%) and the remainder cabernet franc. Sourced from an older vineyard for the region at 44yo, this has become a barometer of the propensity for a minty, currant-scented elegance across cab-dominant wines this far south. Black olive and dried sage, too. The tannins are fine-boned and nicely wrought. The oak, well positioned. The acidity, fresh. A bit trop. This has bags of life left.”
