Tasted through Seth’s 24s yesterday. Backed the truck up (a Yukon XL)
Just sensational wines and maybe his best yet.

Nice - hoping to make it down this year but it may not be in the cards. Sampled a 24 Witness Tree a few weeks ago - absolutely electric.
Any favorites? Were they all drinking well?
They were all great. Actually our least favorite was the Witness Tree. There was something on the mid palate I still can’t identify, that was not present on the other wines that I found detracting. It was a minor feature, yet I needed something to limit my acquisition.
I think his great ability as a winemaker is most apparent in the success he has with his blends: the WV and Eola Amity bottlings. Those are delicious and, while accessible now, should reward midterm aging.
The reduction, most prevalent in the Temperance Hill Vineyard, is only moderately expressed and not off-putting as compared to other producers with this fruit.
Favorites? xnovo, Koosah, WV, Temperance.
We had the 2023 Temperance Hill at Thistle and that was fantastic.
Flinty and delicious.
