  Nothing special, but not all that bad. Might be able to consider this wine as Two Buck Chuck on light steroids. The flavor is much like Two Buck, but a little crisper and richer. Has what seems to a typical value priced California Sauvignon Blanc ripe peach meets tangerine flavor profile The color is glistening golden. The nose in nicely intense and concentrated honey, grapefruit, peach and lemon. The fruit is mouth coating, honeyed orange, tangerine, peach and lemon. There is a touch of glycerine on the roof of the mouth. The viscosity is heavy enough to indicate a touch of residual sugar. The entry is peachy honey, that immediately changes to raw acidity. The finish is a lot of crisp tangerine.

  Not bad. Good acidity, lemon and tangerine citrus. Very simple and no herbal notes, but well above my (admittedly low) expectations.
