Horrible. Very sour to the taste and there seemed to be incremental fermentation that took place within the bottle. There where chemical tastes that were similar to acetic acid.

Well, I really needed to drink it. Seemed to have a bit of petillance (too dark to see). Nothing technically wrong with this bottle, but very little to commend itself either, so it can't quite rate a good.

The wife took one sip and refused to drink any more. Smells almost like sauv blanc but with some chemically going on. Lightly creamy on the palate with some tropical fruits but a weird acidity and a tart funk on the finish. I finished my glass, it's OK but I'm dumping the rest of the bottle. Gets nasty the warmer it gets....whew.

Blind, this would be a pretty good ringer for New Zealand. Grassy, with citrus and good minerality to it. Great value at $8.99. I expect to go through a lot of this in the next few months.

Herbal sauvignon blanc character at the forefront with semillon providing a bit more weight on the palate. Ends with a chalky, mineral edge though fairly short overall. Okay.

It was sweet and way off balance in the beginning. Tasted like really cheap bad wine. A little bit better over time. Still not worth the $10.
