  No rating as I considered flawed. While tasting note from Cellar 503 was subtle smokiness that made it meaty and acceptable for grilled meats, I did not find a smoky nose or palate but only an acrid note on back palate and finish. That blew off a bit by 2nd day and lots of air, but then left with flaccid PN.
  
  No note of smoke taint on bottle label and shame on wineries who knowingly sell smoke tainted wine without disclosing on label regardlesshow subtle they may believe it to be, this will ruin 2020 vintage for those wineries that had no smoke taint as vintage will not be trusted.
