CC CS is my everyday goto wine and I happened to have a couple bottles of the 2011. Generally I pour about a half a bottle into a measuring cup and put the rest in the wine fridge for the next day. When I did this the bouquet filled the room! I was amazed that such an inexpensive, broadly distributed wine could smell so good. It had that minty, eucalyptus aroma one associates with the greater cabernets.
The flavor and body did not disappoint. It was a delicious mouthful which tons of flavor.

Over the hill. Should have drunk it years ago. Still very good wine but not what it was when it was 20.
