The Australian golf legend now makes wine in California. Compared to your usual fruity Chard, this one’s lean and minerally and high in acidity. But it’s very clean, with tantalizing suggestions of lemon meringue and Key lime pie, and actually has a lot going for it.

This wine may age to interesting things, but currently it’s hard in tannins and acidity, and so dry it makes you long for some sugar. But you’ll find a deep core of black currant, licorice and spicy plum flavors. Should pair well with rustic grilled meats.

A good, solid California Chardonnay at a fair price. It’s creamy and crisp, with palate-satisfying flavors of pineapples, pears and green apples.

Bone dry and bitter, with a sharp mouthfeel marked by uneven tannins. That gives a green edge to the berry-cherry flavors. This severe wine is not going anywhere.
