Tasting notes on Northern California’s 2020 vintage in 2022

The OP really comes close here to being spam.

Can you explain how? I posted this in a genuine effort to understand people’s thinking and concerns regarding smoke taint when wines from this vintage are ultimately released, and how those will be shaped by different external factors.

Because you are ITB, in California, and are shilling for 2020 wines before anyone has any idea how good they are.

Absolutely uncalled for. I believe Ben works in a lab, and would have no reason to “shill,” although I don’t see any evidence of that here.
