My local "only wine" store has been pushing the Cloud Break wines. The merlot and pinot noir were decent so I bought a few bottles of this sauvingnon blanc looking for a good value. Well I am not a fan of this s.b.. Normally I stick to CA s.b.'s, avoiding the very distinct New Zealand overly grapefruit style ones. This Cloud Break s.b. is definitely not up to my standards for a Calif. style wine. We finished the bottle but not right away - it sat in the fridge for a few days. And I'm not looking forward to finishing the other two I have in the cellar. Maybe when the MIL is in town (lol!).
TL;DR - not a very good CA sauvingnon blanc, overpriced for "the cheap stuff", look for something else

Surprisingly crisp. Strong citrus and bright.
