Snagged this Sonoma North Coast 2014 fine thing at my local shop, in Morehead City, NC. Did same with a Jersey Mike's turkey sub sporting everything but for pickles. As corporate as that might read, I nonetheless suggest you do same - or something similar thereto. Most know how groovy Pinot Noir is with turkey, so, whether you have access to a crazy cool loaf of northern Cali sour dough and a fresh turkey from the wild or you are doing a JM #7, like me on another coast, this maroon draped fineness will likely turn your head, tilt the bottle, and pour over and over as you work your way through a full-benefit sandwich drenched by this gorgeous liquid lady bathed in boysenberry, cherry and blueberry that has snuggled with seemingly new but proper oak wrapped in Merlin's seaborne magic mist lending the upper oceanside forest's wet, wild spice exaggerated with each spin and spill that clings and lingers righteously reckoning with Quicksilver's vintage plea - " have another hit..."

Caymus, especially the last few vintages, are polarizing, I know. However, my wife claims this is her favorite wine. As you can imagine, this anniversary vintage is difficult to find, but my buddy @Mike R came through BIG when I told him I was searching for my bride. He graciously sent 3 one liters in exchange for some recommendations of my own. Needless to say, in Mike's own words, my wife is smiling huge! Many thanks to you, Mike! Our family opened this up at my wife's request as we put together the finishing touches for our trip out to Napa in 2 weeks.

So this is wine #3 on Mike's journey to finding the best bottle of wine under 15 bucks. If you want a fancy wine smell this ain't the place. I've been sniffing my glass like a bored Florida man sniffing paint and nothing. In my opinion it's great, not over powering at all. If I were to give it a smell it would probably be California wildfires from a couple of states away; light, but distinct.

After taste is amazing and pairs well with the premade butter chicken they have at costco. I can't emphasize how great of a deal that is. Same price per weight as normal chicken breast, but comes pre-prepped. Hints of cherry aftertaste. Not sure if that is due to the color playing mind tricks.

Had my first quarantine zoom date this week. Not sure if the wine helped, but the date on the bottle (2012) gave something to talk about before I started to fake that my internet started glitching. — 6 years ago

@David L thank you for sending this bottle to Jennifer and I. Yet again you gift a fine example of Mike Smith work. This is my first time having Becklyn, it won't be the last. Drinks very well at a young age, typical with Mike's wines. Needs a minimum of 2 hours of decanting. Graceful and polished, tiers of plum black currant and smoked blackberry jam. With most of the fruit that comes from Moulds Vineyard I get this cedar and anise of the finish. Drinks well now! Thank you David! — 9 years ago

Really like Mike's take on a Syrah. A modern expression to me. Fig and fruitcake whiff the nose. Graphite, tobacco maybe a little black olive. Expressive finish the begs for more. — 10 years ago

So glad I tried some of Mike's syrahs this year. Just awesome aromatics with each site bringing something to the table. Great meaty notes that remind you are drinking a syrah and not some manipulated red wine. No hint of heat. Stemmy of course but the fruit is there. Don't have it side by side but the halcon might be my favorite. — 9 years ago

Keeping the Mike Smith vibe going with another '09 cab. There's a nice streak of minerality running through this that reminds me of Mike's Pellet cabs. That would be a fun side-by-side comparison if I had more Spring Mtn cab. Unfortunately, this was my only bottle. — 9 years ago

Had this the other night. It was pop and pour and it could have definitely used a decant. I love Mike's Kenefick cabs and this one is no different with the hints of blueberry and dark fruits. A little hint of sweetness on the palate, but I would imagine with a few more years of age that will dissipate. — 9 years ago
