LES DEUX FRERES
The second wine the brothers dreamt up for BENOM, Les Deux Frères (“The Two Brothers”) was created with pleasure in mind. A combination of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon & Syrah, this wine is inspired by France with a Paso Robles twist.

THE STRUCTURE
Les Deux Frères is our unique interpretation of what Paso Robles’ terroir has to offer. By blending the beautiful characteristics of both Old World style and Paso Robles personality, this wine is focused on purity and pleasure. Grenache brings brightness with earth and minerality, while the Cabernet Sauvignon adds darkness and tannin structure, and Syrah brings texture and polished tannins, resulting in a wine that is approachable in its youth yet promises to age gracefully.

Tasting Notes
2022 Les Deux Frères has a garnet hue with aromas of ripe red berries, redcurrant, and floral notes. On the palate, it showcases red fruit flavors and a velvety texture from Grenache, structured tannins from Cabernet Sauvignon, and rich dark fruit and freshness from cool-climate Syrah. This beautifully balanced wine finishes long and lingering, leaving an impression of elegance and depth.
