Golden Kaan 2003 Reserve Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Western Cape)
- $14
Golden Kaan’s best wine to date, this competes with some of South Africa’s much pricier wines. There are cola, balsam, coffee and mixed berry aromas, while the mouthfeel is creamy, with dry tannins. On the palate, the wine picks up some earthy flavors in addition to mixed berry, and has good length on the finish. Imported by Golden Kaan USA.

Savory cherry, raspberry and plum aromas in this approachable Pinotage lead into spicy, savory flavors of cherry, plum and smoke. It’s an accessible version of a variety that can be tough for some to embrace. Pair with pork or spicy dishes.

Like most of Golden Kaan’s wines, this is an easydrinking, affordable choice. On the nose, a fruity, elegant combination of bright berry and pepper and clove leads into cherry and red berry flavors with a spicy, smoky edge. The finish is fresh but lingers.

Attractive everyday wine with a red berry-spice profile, and a nice mouthfeel—neither too soft or hard. Shows good if slightly candied fruit with leather-herb accents. Uncomplicated, enjoyable. This relatively unknown brand delivers dependable quality in this price range.

Golden Kaan 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Western Cape)

Aromas of peach, lemon and apple hint at the zippy but layered character of this white. On the palate, more lemon and apple flavors dance on a fruity, minerally wave. Easy and fun, but with added character, this wine will pair well with Thai or Indian dishes. Imported by Racke USA.
