Community Tasting Note

• Jimywags wrote: 85 points

  December 4, 2014 - Was so excited to find 5 375's of this wine at Half Wit last month. This wine blew me away earlier in the year with its chenin blanc in such a sec style. Have now had two from this lot and been disappointed both times. The bottles seemed way too advanced. Dark yellow color, honeyed flavors, and not nearly enough zing. Maybe they were damaged by heat? Not sure, but hope the remaining three break the streak. 85pts.

I've read that Half Wit won't hold shipping for mild weather so that suggests they may not be that concerned about storage temps. Couple of supporting links:
