New Jersey - Hammonton - Plagido's Winery

Plagido's Winery - Aug 2016 - Had to be careful here as we could try as many as we wanted. The Vidal Blanc had a ripe cheese aroma, while the Reverence, a blend of Marquis and Chardonnay, had a nice acidic finish. The 2006 Cabernet Franc was fruity and mellow, the 2015 Vino de Casa, a blend of Chambourcin, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, was fruity with bold oak and tannin undertones, the 2008 Merlot was mild on fruit flavors, but had nice fresh tobacco notes, but also had some fresh cut grass in there too, and the 2013 Chambourcin was fruity, but heavy on the oak. Antonia Rosso, made from the Fredonia grape, reminded me of church wine. Their blackberry was tart with the right amount of sweetness while their Pole Dancer, Fredonia aged in a brandy barrel, was sweet, but light on the brandy aroma. My wife's treat was their sangia, made by adding pineapple juice to their Antonia Rosso, the pineapple added the right about of sweet/tart ot the drink.
