Altaïr is a hugely impressive wine, with an enormously satisfying, velvety texture, and superb balance between juicy black cherry fruit character and fragrant oak. Fans of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon would love this. It clearly shows the winemaking genius of Gabriel Mustakis, since it is extremely satisfying to drink now, and yet has the structure and balance to reward long cellaring. It is made mostly from Cabernet Sauvignon, with small doses of Cabernet Franc, Carmenère, Petit Verdot and Syrah, depending on the vintage.
