The 2018 Chardonnay has a soft, approachable taste with a hint of tropical flowers. The red apple flavor with a hint of cedar is enveloped in pear, melon and vanilla, giving it a mellow taste. The mouthfeel is crisp and medium-light, making it the type of Chardonnay you will fall in love with as soon as you drink it. Chardonnay is a versatile wine that goes well with many meals. It goes great with boiled shrimp in cocktail sauce, creamy chicken salad, and simple salads with croutons. For over 20 years, Don Sebastiani & Sons has been making diverse wines that suit each purpose. Each series is a very cost-effective wine with a good balance of quality and price. Among them, the Pepperwood Grove is a wine that has won many awards. In the United States, it has won the "Best Buy" award 17 times from Wine Enthusiast magazine and the "Best Value" award 21 times from Wine Spectator magazine. In Japan, it has been ranked number one many times in the "Ikkojin" magazine, which is a hot topic every year at the end of the year, and has received five stars in a blind tasting by Wine Kingdom magazine, proving its high cost performance both at home and abroad. The packaging label features the beautiful, flowing, swirling grain of a type of pine called the Bristle Cone Tree. This series pursues the beauty of nature and beautifully expresses the individuality of grape varieties.
