Pennsylvania - Dauphin - J & P Winery

J & P Winery - Jan 2020 - For the dry white wines, we tasted Chardonnay, although light on flavor, had a nice buttery caramel finish, the barrel-aged Vidal Blanc, similar to the Chardonnay with buttery caramel, but with more acidity, which went back and forth as it finished, and the Seyval Blanc, which had an off aroma, but a nice acidic finish.

The sweeter whites wines tasted were Delaware, with a nice grape aroma, was less sweet than the Cayuga. The Moscato had nice honey and orange aroma and flavor, with a balanced sweet ending,  the Chardonel had a buttery finish, but something was off, and the Niagara was balanced like the Moscato.

The Corot Noir, unoaked, had a nice blueberry start with a cranberry finish, the Foch, with earthy aromas and beginning on the palette, ended fruity, the Merlot, which is not fermeted to dry, had a slight sweet ending, and the Fredonia had a sweet tart finish.

The peach was very peachy, with a sweet ending. and the Creamsickle was creamy, but could have used more orange to be reminiscent of the classic frozen dessert treat.
