Nose is cherry pie, strawberry and cranberry. On the palate is more strawberry and cranberry with clove and cinnamon overlaying an earthy mineral backbone. It drops off slightly in the finish, but this is a well rounded, medium bodied Pinot with excellent bang for the buck. — 8 years ago
Want some fruit? Right up front. Not too dry. A finish like 120-grit sandpaper was run over it; in other words, smooth. Semolina Gnocchi with Pancetta. With fresh tomato sauce. Joyce and Clark over for dinner. Joanna also asked for cheesy bread. Recommended. — 9 years ago

Wine is :
2012 12C G3 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, Georges III Vineyard
(Pic / Wine not on Delectable Site) Winemaker- @Mike Smith Winery Proprietors: John & Joyce Raudabaugh. The 2012 "G3 Reserve" was not reviewed by one of the Rock Stars; but RP gave 98 to the 2013 Version!
So for a Sunday night this doesn't suck!
Wine has gobs of glycerin, thick concentration, almost a black as night look, tannins present but integrated & linger on a long 45 second finish. Very well made & really happy I grabbed some of the G3 Reserves, cheers! — 9 years ago
