Today’s 2010 J Doran Cabernet Sauvignon, from our friend, winemaker Chris Doran, delivers a big, bold and decidedly delicious Napa Valley Cabernet experience.

This is a generous and under-priced wine that is showing well now - but will really continue to improve and evolve for the next several years.

Youthful and a little shy, at first, decant this wine for at least 30 minutes - or ‘beat it up’ by giving it a hearty bout of swirling, and you’ll be rewarded with a softer feel and more tender fruit flavors.

Dark and rich, we recommend pairing this wine with something sturdy, like a seared skirt steak in a bordelaise sauce with wild mushrooms.
