ORIGIN
From the beginning, the Fabre brothers knew they wanted the BENOM Collection to focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Sauvignon blends; thus, Origin was born.
THE STRUCTURE
Deep-rooted in the clay and limestone of the west side, this polished expression of the nascent Paso Robles terroir is extraordinary. This wine is characterized by a meticulous approach to Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Paso. An elegant Bordeaux style with minerally driven tannins and an opulent finish, Origin’s refined and enchanting aromas never cease to enliven and captivate the senses.

Tasting Notes
Origin has a deep, luminous dark red hue that immediately draws the eye. The nose is expressive with notes of ripe cherry layered with a delicate touch of graphite and a subtle lift of fresh herbs. On the palate, it’s plush and vibrant. Juicy red fruit flavors build with each sip. As the wine opens, a subtle note of fresh jalapeño adds a hint of complexity. The texture is velvety and seamless, with fine-grained tannins that lend structure. It all comes together in a long, polished finish that leaves a lasting impression of balance, freshness, and elegance.
