Clos du Bois - Marlstone
Dark berry, lots of oak, some spice, big tannins. It is much better with a long decant.

Siduri - Pinot Noir Parsons' Vineyard
Exceptionally smooth, balanced and medium to full bodied. Fairly dark red/blue in color, dark cherry, spice and some earth. Good acidity. Opened up nicely, definitely ready to drink.

L'Ecole No 41 - Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley
Dark berry & cherry flavor, some spice and oak. Decanted for less than 30 minutes and drank firm but smoothly. Had a glass left 6 days later and it drank beautifully. Still a nice finish, plenty of dark fruit and a touch of mint.

Silver Oak - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Decanted for an hour and drank from a Riedel Vinum XL cabernet glass. Extremely pleasant and opened up nicely. Plenty of dark fruit, a little spice, slight oak and toned down tannins. At this price, I had higher expectations, just did not wow me. Not sure of long term aging potential but I will space out the rest of my bottles to see how it goes.

Caymus - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Needed very little decanting. Both bottles were ruby red in color, very aromatic, taste of sweet dark cherries & berries, dusty tannins, high alcohol content but no heat. Smooth & creamy. Would have liked a little more grip, but it was truly pleasurable drinking.
