Pennsylvania - Dauphin - Cassel Vineyards of Hershey

Cassel Vineyards of Hershey -Jan 2020 - While visiting the PA Farm Show, we tasted their Oaked Chardonnay (they also have a stainless steel version at the winery), which is mild, with a light buttery finish, Winner's Circle White, a blend of Vidal Blanc, Chardonnay and Traminette, with the floral notes, acidity and buttery finish, each grape standing on its own, and the Vidal Blanc, which had the acidity balanced with a slight sweet finish.

The Winner's Circle Red, a blend of Chambourcin, and Cabernet Franc, was fruity with medium tannins while the Cabernet Franc had dark cherry flavor, medium bodied with light tannins. The Homestretch Red, a blend of Chambourcin, Concord and Lando Noir, a semi-sweet, was not too sweet but interesting with the Concord finish.
