ORIGIN

Tasting Notes
Origin catches the eye with a striking dark ruby color in the glass. On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet of ripe plum, warm spices, and cassis. The first sip reveals dark black cherry and an herbaceous quality that adds depth and freshness. As you take a second sip, the wine’s complexity unfolds with emerging notes of crushed black peppercorn and black fruits. The velvety mouthfeel and integrated tannin structure bring an elegant yet balanced finish.
Food Pairing
Miso Charred Waygu Beef Loin
This Charred Miso Wagyu Beef Loin with Tarragon Aioli recipe by Chef Jeffery Scott is a luxurious dish that combines the rich, umami depth of miso with the melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of Wagyu beef. The subtle smokiness from the charred exterior of the beef, paired with the bright herbaceous notes of tarragon aioli, creates a complex flavor profile that demands a bold and structured wine. Origin is the perfect Miso Charred Beef Waygu Beef Loin wine pairing, offering both intensity and elegance to enhance the rich, savory flavors.
