Alkoomi Grazing Cabernet Merlot 2023 from Alkoomi in Frankland River is a bright, juicy Western Australian red that’s all about generosity and easy drinking, perfect for those afternoon grazing sessions that quietly roll into dinner. It shows classic Cabernet structure with plush Merlot fruit in a very friendly frame.

In the glass, Alkoomi Grazing Cabernet Merlot 2023 brims with cassis, ripe plum and blueberry, laced with bay leaf, sweet spice and a touch of chocolate and vanilla bean from gentle oak. The palate is medium‑bodied and fruit‑driven, loaded with bright red and dark berries, soft but present tannins and subtle savoury, leafy notes that bring a nice earthy complexity without making it heavy.

This Grazing Cabernet Merlot is made for hearty home cooking – think spaghetti bolognese, beef lasagne, lamb chops, cottage pie or slow‑cooked stews where its fruit, spice and gentle grip absolutely shine. It is also a great match for burgers, grilled sausages and hard cheeses, making it a reliable house red for cosy weeknights and casual Sunday lunches alike.
