Screw cap. Medium yellow gold. Ripe lemon, peach, apple, grape, earth, spice, and white pepper, with medium-level acidity and good length of the flinty and smoky finish. Medium- to full-bodied, with good complexity and concentration, and an oily texture. Only the acidity is not fully integrated with the other components (yet?) and the wine seems slightly disharmonious for that reason. Time may or may not fix it, and I prefer the more complete 2011 and the hedonistic 2012 for now. 90(+)(?)

The nose was forward and broad with ripe peach, and sweet spicy florals. It displayed soft, rich textures with a spritz of citrus and energizing acidity.

Dinner at Lazy Bear (Lazy Bear, SF): Herbaceous nose. Sweet on the palate. Lots of fun.
