Note di degustazione
The 2020 Origin, a varietal Cabernet Sauvignon, is darkly floral and intense, with a burst of crushed black raspberries accentuated by dark chocolate and licorice. This is surprisingly juicy and energetic. Tactile mineral tones balance the depths of ripe wild berry fruits as violet-inner florals cascade throughout. The 2020 finishes with dramatic length, yet only lightly structured, leaving a tart tinge of blueberry skins to linger.

The 2020 Origin Cabernet Sauvignon is medium ruby-purple and scented of blackcurrants, menthol, dried herbs, cigar box, cedar and touches of lavender. The medium-bodied palate is grainy and refreshing with earthy character and a long, mineral-driven finish. Winemaker Guillaume Fabre used an optical sorter here which I suspect helped drive quality in this challenging vintage.
Quite an expressive, fruity nose showing cassis, dusted cherries, spices and some black olives. Flavorful, ample and full-bodied on the palate but not heavy at all. Tannins are silky and polished, extending to a very long finish. Just a hint of warmth in the end, but still restrained. 100% cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.
Bright black fruits, cassis, spicy wood, and tobacco notes emerge from the 2020 Origin, a medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, pure, elegant red that's based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Parrish and Gateway vineyards in Paso Robles. Aged 18 months in 70% new French oak, it has good purity of fruit as well as quality tannins and is the standout of the 2020s here. While a step down from the 2019s, these latest 2020s from brothers Arnaud and Guillaume Fabre are solid wines.
