It was definitely crisp, with a little bit of fruit-forwardness, a little bit of dryness, and a little bit of acidity. I observed that it had the style of a white wine with the kind of fruit flavor you would expect in a red, congruent with the online tasting notes. I think it is a good wine for relaxed drinking with the crisp strawberry flavor.
