Long Neck 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Western Cape)
- Best Buy
- $8
A solid medium- weight with good fruit and mouthfeel. Perfect for burgers—better yet, blue or cheddar cheeseburgers. Yeah, the label sports a giraffe. But, in the end it’s about the juice, and tasty and inexpensive always wins.

Long Neck 2003 Chardonnay (Western Cape)
- Best Buy
- $8
Vaguely sweet and perfumy on the nose, but also shows nice mild tropical fruit and avoids cloying sweetness on the tongue. A modest but enjoyable simple Chardonnay, with a smooth feel and clean finish. An off-the-beaten- track choice for an inexpensive by-the-glass pour.

Long Neck 2003 Shiraz (Western Cape)
- $8
Nose mostly mute; light in feel, it lacks fruit presence and flavor. Very mild red berry, cocoa, and toasty oak shadings show, mostly on the finish. Yes, it’s a simple value wine, but where’s the fruit?

Long Neck 2003 Merlot (Western Cape)
- $8
Light red berry Merlot fruit wears a strong green bell pepper element from the nose on, and it stays out front all the way. The fruit is simply under ripe.
