DeJon Vineyards - March 2016 - We tried all their available wines; most grapes are grown on site. The Vidal Blanc had green apple notes, but the Sweet Denise, their sweeter version of Vidal Blanc was better with pink grapefruit flavor. On the drier side, the Pinot Grigio was better with light pear notes and a crisp finish. To me, the stainless steel aged Chardonnay had no flavo.
Dragonfly, their blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chambourcin, was dark in color, but reminded me of the fruitiness of a Merlot. The Malbec, with the juice coming from Chile, was fruit forward and smooth, while the Merlot, with cherry notes, was lightly oaked and well-balanced. Their Chambourcin was fruity as expected, but I could not tell if it was oaked or not, while Festivus, their sweet Chambourcin, was too sweet and the finish ruined the fruit beginning.
