The Vineyard at Hershey - Oct 2017 -The unoaked Chardonnay was crisp, but had no flavor while the oaked Chardonnay, done with chips and barrels, had a nice smooth, light buttery finish. The Dry Riesling had nice acidity after a sweet aroma. Trilogy, a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot, lacked luster and seemed weaker than before, while Firefly, the Trilogy blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, had better flavor, but medium-bodied.
The sweet Riesling was well balanced with a slight acidic, sweet finish, while the Sparkling Moscato was sweet, but the effervescence cut it nicely. Twisted Kiss, a blend of Vidal and Chambourcin had fruity notes, but the acidity of the Vidal was intense. The Pink Catawba, balanced, would give any refreshing Niagara a run for its money.
Oct 2016 -The Chardonnay was heavily oaked with a heavy buttery finish with the Gewurztraminer had light floral notes. Trilogy, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, was full of flavor, but lighter on the body, the Merlot, with plum notes, had more body, and Firefly, another blend, was more full-bodied.
