Cima Collina
2006 Pinot Noir - Tondre Grapefield
(Santa Lucia Highlands)

This mid-region, temperate site generally produces feminine wines in a perfumey, Beaune-style. Skillful winemaking brings out complex aromatics: orange peel, celery seed, tobacco cedar and cola, in this case, supported by a full, deep, well-framed structure.
