September 4, 2009 - Mega Slide (Waterford Wines Milwaukee): Rich liquorice to the nose. blue to black fruited. deft oak on the nose. this wine has grill marks. full dash of wood on the palate. definitely a brightness of fruit on the nose. almost a tangy unsweetened Kool-Aid nose. rich and tight wood expression on the palate. why do people do this to Cabernet Franc???

I think the Dona Paula version is firmly in line with them, and the oak doesn't detract from the wine. (In fact I found the use of oak much more deft then in many of the regular bottlings from Dona Paula.
