A consistent winner and outstanding QPR. Just a great cab for around $70. — 10 months ago

Anyone ever done a Myriad v Quivet v Becklyn comparison?

Brandon T

@Paul T- Huntington Beach none of my Becklyn’s get that kind of bottle age. Bet that was a stellar bottle. Pretty sure you turned me on to this producer 4-5 years ago.

Brandon T

@Shay A I probably have, but it’s been purely accidental. Personally, I think Becklyn’s show better earlier while myriad and quivet tend to require more age, but others likely have a different stance here. I think everything Mike does is stellar so it’s really just nitpicking. Good to see you guys posting - I’ve been MIA and hope to get back into the groove again.

I agree with Matthew Denny from Becklyn Winery, first time trying. Nice with some age on it. — 2 years ago

First vintage where i prefer myriad, quivet, and becklyn over the scarlett. Not big tannins so probably not an ager but it’s tight on opening that gives a sense of thinness. Double decanted it back in the bottle and it has more viscosity. Tastes pretty good now — 5 years ago

Just a few B Cellars left in stock, nice wine but just overpriced for me at $125.00. All the Mike Smith entry level cabs at 60.00 - $70.00 which include Becklyn, Mcgah , Myriad & Scarlett seem to be a better bang for your buck — 6 years ago

Have been super excited to try this. Becklyn has been a standout of the mike smith profile for 2017. Probably my favorite becklyn ever. — 4 years ago

Tasted side by side with the 15 Becklyn NV and the 15 Quivet NV.

Super dark purplish red. Tight I start in the nose but then opened up with cassis, blackberries and sweet spices. Medium plus (7.5/10) and rounded full body. Dark fruits on the palate with sweet spices, brown sugar, blueberries, aniseed and crushed gravel. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027. (92+) — 7 years ago
