J. Doran Vineyards 2011 Cabernet SauvignonIf you picked up some of J. Doran Vineyards 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon earlier this year, here's a great opportunity to compare two respective vintages by a winemaker who allows mother nature to shape the outcome of his wine. Of special note is that the 2010 had a little Merlot while the 2011 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from George III Vineyard.
