The grapes for our 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve were hand harvested in October. After crushing, the juice underwent malolactic fermentation in the tank before being aged in French and American oak for 27 months.

Our Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is truly the pinnacle of William Hill wines. It displays an abundance of black and blue fruits in the aroma, layered with licorice and spice. The concentrated palate finishes long with a balanced expression of elegant tannins.
2005 started with a moist winter which gave way to dry conditions throughout March. Precipitation started again in April and continued into June. Due to slightly cooler spring weather, bud break came a bit later than in previous years. Overall 2005 was an excellent vintage with a healthy crop showing ripe flavorful fruit and generous clusters. The fruit development was aided by extended hang time before harvest, allowing the grapes to develop complex aromas and flavors.
94% Canbernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot. 1,000 Cases.
