Wine Maker Tim Reilly Notes:
A cool spring with relatively normal rainfall was followed by a hot, dry summer with an extended warm, dry autumn creating excellent ripening conditions for the Bordeaux varietals that demand just that. The award-winning wines that wear our CEV label are the ultimate expression of our winemaker’s art: limited quantity, ultrapremium, hand-crafted VQA wines.
