I normally like this label as they provide some inexpensive but great wines, but this one totally sucks.  I would assume that something went wrong with the bottling since I have encountered this type of bad taste before, but it could just as well easily be the addition of a chemical to mass produced wines.  Sometimes, producers make the mistake of trying to gorow bigger and bigger when it would be much better to just do enough the write way.

This wine has too much taste of both oil and rotten eggs.  You can smell the citrus, but underneath the smell of petrol.  The flavor is nothing to let you know that this is a Sauvignon Blanc
