2004 Wedell Cellars Pinot Noir Hillside Vyd Edna Valley The deep color and intense bouquet of blackberry, cherry and raspberry are only a hint of what an extraordinary wine we have created. The richness and complexity are reminiscent of a truly exceptional pinot noir. We feel that while our 2004 Hillside Vineyard Pinot Noir is enjoyable now it has the proper balance to benefit and improve with more bottle age for years to come. In 1995 we planted a small steep north facing hillside vineyard in the southern end of Edna Valley with a field mix of three different dijon clones of pinot noir (clones 115, 667 & 777) on low vigor root stock (rootstock 420a). While to our knowledge, nobody else had tried this approach with pinot noir, we believed that by doing these things we could delay bud break, increase hang time and acidity while keeping the vineyard’s yield exceptionally low and would potentially produce an exceptional pinot noir. After five years of intense farming
our hillside vineyard finally began producing a small crop. The wines that have come from it, Wedell Cellars Hillside Vineyard Pinot Noir, have been widely praised in the wine press. One wine writer stated that it could be easily mistaken for Domaine De La Romanee Conti while another remarked that it is one of the best Central Coast Pinot Noirs in memory.
