Borgo Pass Vineyard Pinot Meunier
What should be initially noted is the beautiful color of this wine - like drinking a garnet out of a glass! At first whiff, tight on the nose with fresh, red cherries. Opens and softens to pomegranate, crushed lily, and ground white pepper. Very soft on the palate, juicy with ripen, fresh cherries, cranberries, and blood orange, with soft, sweet spice of cardamon and anise on the back end, fading way to a medium finish of sandalwood and anise. Very soft and not much in the way of tannins, but still a great accompaniment to a calzone!

4 people found it helpfulDec 7th, 2014One of the best of "the weird & wonderful" wines of Oregon. From a unique coastal vineyard imaginatively named after the pass to Dracula's castle, this is still a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. Just wait for this sucker to age & show deft minerality as the fruit gains sauvage & more laser focus. But if you must drink it now, baby killing is built for festive feasts, for sure!
