Origin 2002 Paramount Red (Napa Valley)
Price
$65
This most expensive of Origin’s trio is also the most tannic and, theoretically, the best and most ageworthy. It’s a very good wine, with pronounced black currant, cherry, violet and oak flavors. There’s a sharpness of acidity that calls for rich, fatty fare if you drink it young.

Origin 2004 Reserve Series Malbec (Mendoza)
Price
$18
Classic dark-cherry aromas start it out. Next up comes a ripe, snappy, zesty palate defined by pulsating raspberry accented with touches of milk chocolate and a blast of smoke. A serious wine with integrity.

Origin 2006 Malbec (Mendoza)
Best Buy
Price
$9
This global brand has a hit in Mendoza. The ’06 Malbec is lively and made right, with hickory and charred steak aromas mixing nicely with the blueberry and blackberry character in the wine. It’s a darn good New World red for not much cash, and it should hold up well for at least a couple of years.

Origin 2002 Family Home Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
Price
$55
Marginally richer and riper than Origin’s Heritage Sites Red Wine, but, costing considerably more, it’s a lesser value. This is a somewhat tannic wine with herb and cherry flavors, and a sharpness throughout.

Origin 2004 Chardonnay (Central Valley)
Best Buy
Price
$10
Smooth, with a pleasant aromatic opening of toast blended with white fruits. Round apple, papaya and banana work the palate, which shows perfect acidity and an even keel. Tropical as a whole, with commendable texture. Imported by Winery Exchange.

Origin 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
Price
$14
Shows some flinty-chalky notes that resemble a decent Pouilly-Fumé alongside grapefruit and bell pepper fruit. Light in body, with a long, citrusy finish. Ideal with shellfish or simple fish dishes. Imported by Winery Exchange.

Origin 2009 Tempranillo (Campo de Borja)
Best Buy
Price
$10
Full, brambly and spicy, with red fruit aromas and a hint of tire rubber. The palate is juicy and snappy, with forward raspberry and plum fruit. Finishes sheer and peppery, with good length and vitality. About all one can expect from $10 Tempranillo.

Origin 2002 Heritage Sites Red (Napa Valley)
Price
$35
A good example of a less-than-ripe wine that nonetheless offers pleasure and complexity. There’s mint and greenness alongside the expected cherries and blackberries, but sometimes you don’t want a mouthful of fruit. Possesses an elegance that will play well off a steak with lots of pepper. A blend, but 76% Merlot.
