simple harsh watery green crisp  
The aroma though is fine - fruity, green, if a little simplistic. The palate is stony, with a rather harsh, dominating acidity. Certainly crisp with a green and alcohol-evident, if long, finish. The texture is rather light and again, simplistic. Really no complexity or excitement on the watery palate at all, just the acidity that appears to grow with each sip. Unimpressed.

Great description! "Watery palate" - made me laugh. Keep 'em coming!

I'm no wine expert, but this wine was truly unimpressive, if not awful. I immediately ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio instead.
