Altair Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022 from Margaret River is a bold yet refined Bordeaux-style blend offering deep aromas of rum and raisin, anise, and bay leaf, layered with dark wild berry and cigar box notes for complexity. The wine unfolds with firm gravelly tannins that provide structure while softening on the palate to reveal supple texture and flavours of ripe plum and blackcurrant complemented by subtle black licorice and peppercorn spice. This approachable yet elegant wine balances intensity with finesse, embodying classic Margaret River characteristics.

This 2022 vintage pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes such as slow-cooked lamb, grilled ribeye, rich pasta ragù, or mushroom risotto, highlighting its ability to complement robust flavours with its layered fruit and tannins.
