Broken Earth, Paso Robles (Central Coast, California) 2021

 I met Ben Mayo at the Orange County Fair some years back when we were judging homemade wines, and we both agreed that a Malvasia Bianca merited a perfect score.  I can say I agree with Ben’s choices again, this time on this excellent blend that he made for the winery high line.  The blend components not disclosed, but that doesn’t matter much to anyone except us geeks.  Such blended offerings have one job – to be delicious – and this succeeds on all fronts.  Big, bright, long and satisfying, if in want of a huge slab of beef.  Nice work!
