2013 was a great year for CA Cabs. I was a huge fan of Stag's Leap Artemis. I couldn't find it for while in the local stores. I tried a 2016 recently and didn't like it at all. Caymus is my favorite and the 2017 actually isn't bad. Is there anything else out there that tastes like the Caymus? It has a very distinct flavor I have found in any other Cab. Some of my friends do the "I taste oak, berry". I don't know what I taste, just that I really enjoy the Caymus.
I don’t do the tastes like oak, boysenberry, etc. either... I do let my dog smell each cork though. His nose is much better than mine.

Not sure about anything that tastes like Caymus - and it definitely varies by vintage. But another pretty good wine in the Artemis / Caymus price range is Joseph Phelps.
