I usually find myself sick of the "value" wines I buy for everyday drinking rather quickly. This one has just stuck around and I can't seem to get tired of it!! It is more like a Zin with all the extract and expolsive fruit. Yes it is a fruit bomb... but a good one in MHO. (No, "good" and "fruit bomb" arn't mutually exclusive in my book.) And, at $6 by the case, I can't seem to get enough. If you see it, try it. And from South Africa. Go figure.

Wow Drew, I must have missed your posts. I even did a search before posting in case someone else had written about it. It is great stuff huh? I'm thinking of getting another case before it is gone.

They produced over 80,000 cases of the stuff...should be lots to find.

Discovered the Excelsior Cab 2002 and Love it! Where can I order it by the case?

It is starting to sell out. I would check your local stores. Mine just sold out their last case. I just did a quick search on Yahoo and found these places. There are others as well. Buy much. You won't get tired of it.
