Alkoomi Family Collection Shiraz 2022 from Frankland River is a serious, cooler‑climate Shiraz that leans into spice and structure rather than sheer weight, opening with blackberry, dark plum and black cherry wrapped in cracked pepper, licorice, smoked meat and a little cedar. It feels savoury, brooding and clearly a step up from the everyday Grazing range.

On the palate, Alkoomi Family Collection Shiraz 2022 is medium to full bodied with a dense core of black fruits, dark chocolate and baking spice running over bright, regional acidity. Fine but assertive tannins and well‑integrated oak give impressive line and length, finishing long, dry and gently earthy, with clear potential to cellar for 8–10 years while still drinking very well after a decent decant.

For food, Alkoomi Family Collection Shiraz 2022 is spot on with grilled rib‑eye, lamb shoulder, smoky barbecue ribs or a slow‑cooked beef ragu, where its spice, tannin and fruit intensity love char and richness. It is also excellent with venison pies, roast root vegetables, hearty mushroom dishes and aged cheddar, making this Family Collection Shiraz 2022 a smart pick when you want a proper, dinner‑table‑worthy WA Shiraz.
