  This wine has a great combination of minerality and barrel aged buttery character. Likely partial Malo although I wouldn't be surprised if this was full Malo since this fruit in this area is just PRETTY and DENSE. Nose of browned butter, butterscotch, banana bread, vanilla pudding. Palate gives you exactly what the nose does with great salinity, rounded mouth feel on the front with a more jagged finish. There's a bit of yellow peach in there without a doubt. The finish has a ton of white pepper and went well with both the flatbread pizza as well as the shrimp stir fry (yes, dinner was pretty eclectic). This wine really is in a great spot now, but in 5-7 yrs it will still be going strong.
