Out of Africa 2003 Shiraz (Western Cape)
- Best Buy
- $9
Solid and inky, with an earthy, slightly metallic South African typicity on the dark berry-licorice Shiraz fruit. Has good flavors and medium-weight feel. Closes with some dry tannins, making it a good companion to grilled meat.

Out of Africa 2003 Sauvignon Blanc (Western Cape)
- Best Buy
- $9
Tangy grass and gooseberry aromas and flavors sit on a light- to medium-weight frame. Mellows a bit towards the back end. Has appeal as an everyday alternative to fans of Sancerre and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

Out of Africa 2002 Pinotage (Western Cape)
- Best Buy
- $9
Tasty wine similar to a basic Bordeaux. The very dry tart berry fruit wears a dose of earthiness, but it comes off less overtly South African as the iron-iodine element is suppressed here. As such, it’s less typical of its origins. Putting whether that’s a plus or minus aside, it should afford the wine wider mainstream appeal.

Out of Africa 2003 Chardonnay (Western Cape)
- $9
Workaday Chardonnnay with apple-and-melon profile and a moderately slick feel. Not cloying or sweet. Okay for the patio and with light foods.

Out of Africa 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Western Cape)
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Light, with typical berry and herb elements, but with an overwhelming greenish, seemingly underripe edge. Smooth and even-textured, but lacking concentration or depth of fruit to overcome the green.
