This wine is citrus. Like crazy citrus. The scent is very strong (citrus). The flavor is like a hit to the face (with a cornucopia of citrus fruit). I caught the flavors of passion fruit and melon specifically. Very smooth wine with a light acidity.
And its cheap. Like hella cheap. Take this wine to the beach in your cooler. You won't be unhappy. I mean, six bucks? I think you can spare it.

I'm not a big wine fan, but I'd be willing to try this one based on your review.
I'll keep an eye out for it.
I found this wine by accident and now am at a lost - where to find more?! I love it!
My only advice is to go to a store in the area you found it and see if they can order it. It may be up to the 2008 vintage at this point, though. My store sold out of it and quit carrying it, but I am sure we, like most stores, could order it from the distributor still.
Wholesfoods now carries this wine! :)
THEY HAD THIS WINE AT WHOLE FOODS, AND SOLD OUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS A REALLY GREAT SAUVIGNON BLANC. IT REALLY IS! THE PROBLEM IS, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BUY IT.
It seems to come and go, but it was such a great wine. I haven't found the 2007 online yet, but I found the 2006, also for a great price: http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/shellback+sauvignon+blanc/2006
Big Lots in L.A. have this wine in stock for $4.
