I found it to be crisp, clean and dry, but less robust (tartness, acidity) than Dashwood (or Pepi). It has the hint and aroma of grapefruit that I like so much. It has a rubberized cork and I didn't detect any woodsy sort of flavors or aromas.
Spec's price: $7.99.
My summation: I will definitely drink El Portillo again. I probably wouldn't drive to the store seeking it out, but it had a really nice, clean taste that I enjoyed. And you can't beat the price for a wine with such good flavor!
I also dig the quote on the bottle:
"Finca El Portillo Sauvignon Blanc is inspired by the color of chanar. A spicy tree that loses its bark over time, chanar is known for its lustrous green trunk. This color of the Andes symbolizes our belief in winemaking with respect for nature."
