"Harvested between September 7 and October 5, the 2021 Right Bank Blend comes from a handful of sites (Stagecoach and Little Creek) and is based on 68% Cabernet Franc, 27% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. It was completely destemmed and brought up in just 65% new French oak. Its deep purple hue is followed by a complex, layered bouquet of red and black fruits, black tea, flowers, and underbrush, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless mouthfeel, and just about perfect balance in its fruit, alcohol, and tannins. It's another absolutely sensational wine from Williams that offers pleasure today yet has the class and depth to evolve for 15-20 years."
