2022 Vinous Obscura "Fenice" Columbia Gorge Skin Contact Muscat

94 Points & and "Editors' Choice" designation from Wine Enthusiast Magazine: "Some people call me Fenice, 'cause I speak of the pompatus of skin contact Muscat. I'm no joker, this is a great wine that was fermented in acacia. Its fresh peach and spicy ginger crème brûlée aromas are irresistible, while flavors of basil, apricots and crushed walnuts fill the mouth. Great acidity, with silky tannins." (12/1/23)

From Vinous: "The 2022 Muscat Fenice slowly unwinds with a mix of savory and sweet: hints of ground ginger contrast with sour melon, all lifted by an airy hint of mint. It's softly textured yet lacks motivation, seeming to hover with green melon hints and an herbal tinge. The 2022 finishes with medium length and a saline touch." (1/24)
