This bottle had a bit of VA lurking in the background and came across as rather simple and mute. It was delicious but lacking in verve and complexity.

About what I expected. Even at $15 at Costco, this isn't a good value. For the money, there are wines with more character and purity available from Chile, Spain and France.

Hard to believe, but I've been following the evolution of East Bench for 15 years. As the vines have aged, the wine seems to have become more soulful, which I suppose could be more a function of winemaking choices, not sure. In any case, this is a beautiful successor to the phenomenal 2021 (still the one IMHO).
