Awful, VA, Brett, tannic; beyond flawed as I tried two bottles.

2016 Quilt Chardonnay 85 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Standard California Chardonnay, oaky, ripe, sweet, close to being acid balanced but not special or particularly speaking of Napa fruit. Okay

2017 Justin Vineyards & Winery Rosé 86 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles
Starting to show its age and a bit alcoholic, but decent effort. Okay to drink but with other 2018's in the market I would not recommend buying.

2016 La Crema Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 89 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast
Solid Pinot Noir, good benchmark wine for quality in the $15-$20 price range. Nice character, the spice from barrel aging is properly integrated, great balance and finish. Speaks more of solid varietal character than appellation, but for the dollar a real value.
