Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon
Comments (0) Here is a great everyday value wine you can find almost everywhere in the US. A friend in Manhattan introduced me to the Excelsior brand a few years ago, and it’s an excellent choice to have on hand when you’re expecting a lot of people around the table who will be eating a lot of food, and drinking a lot of wine.
One thing I will tell you, is that although this wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon, it doesn’t necessarily have the same type of profile you might be accustomed to if you drink a lot of California Cab’s. South African wines are a little bit different, which is a great thing in my book.
In terms of the flavor profile, there is plenty of currant, some plum, and a bit of spice. Also some sour cherry in there as well. An easy drinking fun wine to keep around the house. Great with summer barbecue and meat type dishes.
Also, at 8 or 9 dollars a bottle, it’s hard to not feel like it’s a good value. Give it a go, I think you might like it.
My rating: 86 points.
