Nothing too special. Too acidic and alcohol stood out too much, left too much of a burn sensation in the throat and nose.
These negatives aside, for the price, it's not bad. Nothing too distinct in the taste. As much as I hate to use grape things in descriptions, the nose smelled like a box of raisins. Just a decent bottle that is fairly generic and drinks fairly easily.

This is really a fantastic bottle....
Nose: Very sharp and spicy. Really reminds me a lot of a Sauvignon Blanc minus the dreaded "cat pee" smell.
Taste: Apples, pineapples, pears, grapefruit. Crisp, crisp finish. Great balance.
